Abstract
Abstract The early-maturing irrigated rice cultivar BRS A702 CL was developed by Embrapa in partnership with BASF for the Clearfield Production System of irrigated rice in the tropical region of Brazil. In the states of Tocantins and Roraima, BRS A702 CL produces a mean yield of 7,650 kg ha-1.
Highlights
For the state of Tocantins, the irrigated rice agribusiness plays a major role in foreign exchange and employment generation (Fragoso et al 2013)
The planting of rice cultivars resistant to a broad-spectrum herbicide, e.g., Kifix® of the chemical group of imidazolinones, which affects red rice, is extremely important to make this cultivation system viable
Cultivar BRS A702 CL was developed by a backcross program between commercial cultivar BRS Formoso and cultivar Cypress CL, a tolerance source to herbicides of the chemical group of imidazolinones
