A new peanut variety ‘Yeonpung’ (Arachis hypogaea ssp. hypogaea L.) was developed at the Department of Functional Crop, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in Milyang 2010. This was developed from a cross between a hybrid of ‘Namkwang’ and ‘U2-12-6’, and a short stem cultivar ‘Satonoka’. The ‘Yeonpung’, which is a Virginia plant type, has 20 branch number and 36 cm in main stem length. Each pod has two grains with brown testa and long ellipse-shaped large kernel, and its 100 seed weight was 85 g in the regional yield trials (RYT). ‘Yeonpung’ showed 49.8% of crude oil and 31.9% of protein contents. This Cultivar also showed more resistant to late leaf spot and web blotch, compared to a check cultivar. Furthermore it has resistance to lodging until harvesting owing to its short stem. In the regional yield trials, ‘Yeonpung’ outyielded by 15% with 4.81 MT/ha for grain yield compared to ‘Daekwang’ cultivar one.
