Abstract: In order to provide reference for the research and development of high-quality and high-yield soybean varieties, the new high-yielding soybean variety Jiyu 513 was bred by the Soybean Research Institute of Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2009 by taking Jiyu 47 as female parent and Tie 97124-1-1 as male parent with genealogical method. In 2019-2020, its average yield of 3 248.5 kg·ha^-1 in the regional trial of the mid-late maturity group of northern spring soybeans, 6.1% higher than the control Jiyu 72. In 2020, the average yield was 3 031.5 kg·ha^-1 in production test, which was 12.1% higher than that of the control Jiyu 72. In 2021, it passed the national Crop Variety Validation Committee’s validation with the approval number of 20210032. This variety has excellent characteristics of high yield, stable yield and disease resistance, and is especially suitable for spring sowing in southern central Jilin Province, eastern and northern Liaoning Province, northern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, northern Shanxi Province, Chengde of Hebei Province and Zhangye of Gansu Province. This variety was selected through the combination of traditional breeding technology and fertility optimization screening, which will have a far-reaching and positive impact on the future development of China’s soybean industry, if the proportion of organic and inorganic application is optimized, the high yield potential of Jiyu 513 will be better realized.
