A new soybean cultivar for soy-paste, ‘Daeha 1’, was developed by soybean breeding team in the YeongnamAgricultural Research Institute (YARI) in 2008. A promising line, SS97214-S-S-S-15, was selected from the combination between‘Suwon192’ and a pedigree came from cross combination between ‘Jangyeobkong’ and ‘Hwaeomputkong’. It was designated asthe name of ‘Milyang 164’. It had good result from regional adaptation yield trial (RYT) for three years from 2006 to 2008and released as the name of ‘Daeha 1’. It has a determinate growth habit, white flower, grey pubescence, yellow seed coat, yellowhilum, large spherical seed (25.4 grams per 100 seeds). ‘Daeha 1’ is tolerant to soybean mosaic virus and bacterial pustule, themajor soybean disease in Korea. The average yield of ‘Daeha 1’ was 2.62 ton per hectare in the regional yield trial (RYT) carriedout for three years from 2006 to 2008, which was 5 percent higher than that of check cultivar, ‘Taekwangkong’.
