A new peanut variety "Charmpyeong" (Arachis hypogaea ssp. hypogaea L.) was developed at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, in Milyang in 2007. It was developed from the cross between the high-yielding cultivar "Shindaekwang" and the very short stem cultivar "ICGV94216". This Virginia plant typed "Charmpyeong" has 33 cm stem height and 18 branch number Each pod with ellipse-shaped large kernel has two grains with brown testa and 100 seed weight was 88 g in the regional yield trials (RYT). This variety also showed more resistant to web blotch compared with check one. Especially it has resistance to lodging until harvesting owing to short stem. In the regional yield trials "Charmpyeong" was outyielded than check variety by 13% with 4.35 MT/ha for grain.
