Abstract
Abstract BRS 901 and BRS 902 are red pericarp rice cultivars developed by Embrapa for irrigated and rainfed lowland production systems in Brazil. These cultivars have medium and early maturation cycles, respectively, and both have high grain yield potential, good lodging tolerance and short to medium length grains.
Highlights
White or polished rice is preferred by consumers worldwide, due to cultural aspects and characteristics such as flavor and texture, red rice is traditionally cultivated in Asia, in India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand (Ahuja et al 2007)
The Brazilian red rice varieties were selected by the farmers themselves, and specific characteristics were developed according to the respective geographic microregion (Pereira and Morais 2014, Morais Júnior et al 2017)
In Brazil, red rice is still being produced in the traditional areas with low-input farming, it has aroused the interest of growers of other Brazilian regions who use high-input production systems, e.g., in the South and Southeast
