A mungbean cultivar ‘Sanpo’ (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was derived from the cross between SM9710-3B-7 and Jangannogdu at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in 2012. ‘Sanpo’ has erect growth habit, green hypocotyls, heart leaflet, dull green seed surface, and black and straight pod when matured. The stem length of ‘Sanpo’ were 71㎝, which was 5㎝ longer than check cultivar ‘Owool’. The pods number per plant, the seeds number per pod, and the seed weight of ‘Sanpo’ are similar to check cultivar. It has field resistance to cercospora leaf spot, mungbean mottle virus, and powdery mildew. In addition, ‘Sanpo’ has high lodging resistance. The hard seed rate of ‘Sanpo’ was 2.4%, which was 0.8%point lower than check cultivar. The sprout yield ratio of ‘Sanpo’ was 8.26 times, which was 10% (77%point) more than check cultivar. The average yield of ‘Sanpo’ was 1.62ton/㏊, which was 14% more than the check cultivar ‘Owool’. (Cultivar registration number: 5250)

A new soybean variety, ‘Joongmo 3009’ (Milyang 222) was developed at the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in 2012. ‘Joongmo 3009’ was released by pedigree selection from the cross between ‘Cheongja 2(Milyang 121)’ and ‘Daemangkong’.

It has determinate growth habit, white flower, brown pubescence, brown pod color, green seed coat, green cotyledon, spherical seed shape, oval leaf shape and large seed size (29.3 grams per 100 seeds). It was late 16 days in maturing date than the check cultivar ‘Cheongjakong’. The average yield of ‘Joongmo 3009’ was 2.91 ton per hectare, which was higher 36 percentage than the check variety, in the regional yield trials carried out in three adaptable locations of Korea from 2010 to 2012. The number of breeder’s right is ‘5474’

A soybean cultivar for sprout, ‘Joyang 1’ was developed at the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in 2010. ‘Joyang 1’ (Iksan67) was released by pedigree selection from the cross between high yielding ‘Pungsannamulkong’ and ‘Suwon187’ tolerant to lodging and disease. It has purple flower, lanceolate leaf, grey pubescence and small yellow seed. Weight of hundred seed is 11.6gram. Maturing date of ‘Joyang 1’ is ten days earlier than check cultivar, ‘Pungsannamulkong’. ‘Joyang 1’ is resistant to bacterial pustule and shattering. It have similar tolerance to root rot and seed spot to check cultivar. It shows high germination ratio, less abnormal germination and hard seed. Sprout yield also 11 percent higher than check cultivar. The average seed yield of ‘Joyang 1’ was 3.03 ton per hectare in the regional yield trials (RYT) carried out for three years from 2008 to 2010 which was 3 percent higher than the check cultivar. The number of breeder’s right is ‘4900’.
