As a mild taste cultivar, it has lower pyruvic acid concent of 2.16 μmol/g F.W and a bolting percentage of 6.0% whereas the check cultivar ‘Marusino 330’ contains 2.60 μmol/g F.W of pyruvic acid and 19.9%, of bolting respectively. The bulb has dark yellow skin color, globe shape and large size type. Lodging date of this cultivar was April 30 which was similar to check cultivar. It is moderately resistance to downy mildew and soft rot compared to check cultivar. The fresh weight of bulb was 254g and the average yield was 6,176kg/10a in ordinary culture of local adaptability test. ‘Sinseonhwang’ will be highly adaptable to the south area in Korea.
