A mungbean cultivar “Munpyeong” (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was derived as a cross between “Keumseong” and “IT163157” at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in 2013. “Munpyeong” has an erect growth habit, heart leaflet, green hypocotyls, black and straight pods when matured, and a dull green seed surface. The stem length of “Munpyeong” was 60 cm, which was 6 cm shorter than that of the control cultivar “Owool.” The pod number per plant was 25, which was 3 more than that of the control cultivar. The 1000 seed weight of “Munpyeong” was 45 g, which was 4 g lighter than that of the control cultivar “Owool.” Its field resistance to mungbean mottle virus, cercospora leaf spot, and powdery mildew are similar to the control cultivar, whereas its field resistance to lodging was slightly stronger. The hard seed rate of “Munpyeong” was 3.2%, which was similar to that of the control cultivar. The sprout yield ratio was 7.54 times, which was 9% more than that of the control cultivar. The average yield of “Munpyeong” was 1.93 ton/ha, which was 21% more than that of the control cultivar “Owool” (Cultivar registration number: 5878).
A cowpea cultivar ‘Okdang’ (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) was developed by the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in 2013 using the breeding method of pure line isolation applied to the foundation stock of IT45384. ‘Okdang’ has an erect plant type with an intermediate plant habit, green hypocotyls, heart leaflet, orange yellow seed surface of faint luster, and brown and straight pods when matured. Its first flowering and maturing dates were approximately seven and ten days earlier than that of the control cultivar ‘Seoweon’. The stem length of ‘Okdang’ was 42 cm, which was 57 cm shorter than that of the control cultivar. Its 100-seed weight was 16.6 g, which was heavier than that of the control cultivar by 5.9 g. The weight ratio of the seed coat for the entire seed was 12%, which was 1.4%p lower than that of the control cultivar. Its field resistance to leaf and systemic diseases was as strong, or slightly weaker than that of the control cultivar. In addition, ‘Okdang’ had a high lodging resistance. The average yield of ‘Okdang’ was 1.85 ton/ha, which was 40% higher than that of the control cultivar ‘Seoweon’ (Cultivar registration number: 5879).
