The purpose of this experiment was to cultivate new varieties of high-quality fresh soybean suitable for planting in Fujian and similar ecological regions, accelerate the replacement of old varieties, promote the efficient development of the industry, and help the revitalization of rural industries. With ‘Zhe 98002’ as the female parent and ‘Maodou 389’ as the male parent, the excellent new variety ‘Xinghuadou 5’ was selected and bred by pedigree method, and it was recommended to participate in the regional trial of fresh soybean varieties in Fujian Province in 2020. Results of regional trials in 2020-2021 showed that the average yield of fresh pods of ‘Xinghuadou 5’ was 11522.7 kg/hm², which was 5.67% higher than that of ‘Maodou 3’ (CK). The yield of standard pods was 8261.7 kg/hm², which was 5.11% higher than that of ‘Maodou 3’ (CK), and the standard pod rate was 71.70%. The new variety was approved and released by Fujian Provincial Committee of Crop Variety Identification in July 2022. The variety has large pods and large grains, sweet and soft glutinous taste when cooked. It is a medium and late maturing fresh soybean variety, and is suitable for spring sowing and planting in Fujian Province.
