Abstract: A new variety of soybean for use as a food vegetable,Mindou No.6, was bred by crossing Zhe 2818 and Mindou No. 1. It showed a steadily high yield, extensive adaptability, and strong adversity-resistance. During the Fujian provincial regional trials in 2010-2011, the average fresh pod yield of Mindou No.1 was 9 568.20 kg·hm^-2 with an 8.85% increase over control; and, the standard pod yield, 5 497.50 kg·hm^-2 with a 4.31% increase compared to control. Furthermore, in the 2012 production trial, its average fresh pod yield reached 10 742.55 kg·hm^-2 with a 15.86% increase over control. The new variety was later approved by the Crop Variety Approval Committee of Fujian Province in April 2013 to be suitable for cultivation in most areasin the province. The characteristics of Mindou No.6 are summarized,along withthe cultivation guidelines, in this article for its promotion and application.
