毛豆新品種『高雄五號』係從日本引進的品種『綠光』,利用純系分離選種方法,選取優良單株繁殖,經各級產量試驗及其他相關試驗結果,選出質優、豐產品系『綠光-74』經審查委員審查通過命名推廣。本品種植株高度32-55公分,主莖8-9節,莖粗直徑平均7.3 mm,較抗倒伏,小葉橢圓形濃綠,花白色,莢果長5.3-6.1公分,寬1.3-1.4公分,鮮種仁百粒重71-89公克,成熟種子百粒重38-44公克。本品種播種發芽後26-35天開花,66-79天採收鮮莢,屬中熟品種。本品種莢果大,種仁也大,外觀翠綠,風味好甚受消費者喜愛,唯對生長環境較敏感,尤其在低溫或日照不足的環境下,生產潛力深受影響。因此在栽培上應選擇富含有機質之壤土或砂質壤土,且排水良好又可灌溉的田地為宜,播種適期春作二月下旬至三月上旬,夏作六月下旬至七月上旬,秋作九月上旬至十月上旬,每公頃種子播種量約160公斤,肥料三要素用量,每公頃用氮素20-40公斤,磷酐60-90公斤,氧化鉀60-90公斤,其中氮素1/2量與磷酐及氧化鉀全量作基肥,剩餘1/2氮肥分兩次追肥,即播種後15-20天與結莢期各一次。生育期間蟲害以潛蠅、豆莢螟、紅蜘蛛及蚜蟲為害較多,病害以炭疽病、露菌病、銹病較易發生,宜參照農林廳編印植物保護手冊適時防治,可確保品質與產量。
Kaohsiung No.5, a new variety of vegetable soybean, was selected from the population of Ryokukou, a variety introduced from Japan. The first step was the selection of superior single plants followed by the evaluation of those selected lines through a series of yield trials and relevant experiments. Ryokukou-74 which performed the best was finally named as Kaohsiung No.5. The main characteristics of Kaohsiung No.5 were as follows:1. Plants height is about 32-55 cm with 8-9 nodes along main stem. The flower is white and the oval leaflet is dark green.2. The pod of Kaohsiung No.5 is large of which pod lengh is 5.3-6.1 cm and pod width 1.3-1.4 cm. Fresh weight of 100 fresh seeds is 71-89 grams while dry weight of 100 mature seeds is 38-44 gram. The color of seed coat is light green. The fresh pod tastes very nice for freezing food.3. Kaohsiung No.5 starts flowering 26-35 days after planting and its fresh pod could be harvested 66-79 days after planting. It is sensitive to growth environment such as low temperature and long time shading, which will influenced yield stability. Therefore choosing optimal planting date is very important.
