A new kidney bean cultivar, “wanghyeob 1”was developed at the National Institute of Crop Science in 2005. “wanghyeob 1”was selected from a cross between KLG50064 and KLG50073. It has determinate growth habit, white flower, yellow pod color, oval shape of crossed section of pod at the harvesting time for edible pod, white seed coat and middle seed size (21.7 grams per 100 seeds). The average yield of edible pod of “wanghyeob 1”was 23.55 M/T per hectare in the yield trials which was carried out at the green house in spring and autumn in 2005. This yield level was 4 percent higher than that of the check cultivar “angnangkong 1”
