‘Bowon’ (Arachis Hypogaea L.) was developed at the National Crop Experiment Station (NCES) in Suwon duringthe period from 1991 to 2001 through the cross between a short stem with a few vegetative branches line SP8603 (Chibahandachi/Daekwangtangkong) and a large seeded with disease resistance variety ‘Daewontangkong’. This variety is belong to a Spanishtype and complete erect type with a few branches, short stems and the habit of pod set clustered near the base of plant, whichare more adaptable for dense planting and mechanized farming, and early maturing variety. Each pod contains two kernels withfleshy testa color and average weight of 100 kernels was 98 g, which was 19 g higher than that of check variety ‘Daekwangtangkong’.This variety showed higher degree in the lodging resistance and disease resistance against early and late leaf spot, and web blotchthan those of check variety. This variety was found to be significantly higher in kernel yield per hectare by 17% over checkvariety and showing high yield stability from different year and location.
