BRS Ártico - Common bean cultivar with export-standard white grain

Abstract

BRS Ártico is a common bean

Competition limits of the yield components of the common bean ‘BRS Ártico’ with white grains

“…The curve plateau of the yield corresponds to the highest maximum yield, which is theoretically equal to the yield due to radiation and temperature. The maximum grain yield observed, 3,030 kg ha -1 ( Figure 5), was above the yield potential of 2,677 kg ha -1 reported by Pereira et al (2016). Thus, the graphical representations of the relationship between yield components include situations with yields close to maximum, allowing positioning accurately the boundary lines for the point cloud.…”

“…In the harvest maturity stage, the pods are straw yellow, and may be slightly reddish. The beans are white, with a full oblong shape and intermediate brightness (Pereira et al, 2016).…”

“…In this sense, Embrapa Rice and Beans recently released the common bean cultivar BRS Ártico, with white grains, originating from the line WAF 75. This cultivar was recorded for the winter season in the states of Goiás, Federal District, Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Maranhão, Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro; and for the 'wet' and 'dry' seasons in the state of Paraná (Pereira et al, 2016). For its cultivation to be more efficient, however, it is necessary to know in depth the effect of plant populations on yield and its components, as for Brazilian conditions this information is scarce regarding special beans with large size grains.…”

BRS Fs305 - Common Bean Cultivar With Calima Bean for Export

“…Between 2007 and 2016, line CAL-96 was introduced in Brazil and evaluated in the field for plant architecture, lodging tolerance, grain yield and commercial quality, reaction to angular leaf spot, anthracnose, fusarium wilt, rust, common bacterial blight and bacterial wilt. In 2007In , 2009In , 2010In , 2015In and 2016, the line was evaluated in Goiás, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso in the winter, and in Paraná during the rainy and dry seasons, in a total of 40 evaluation environments. Five controls were used in these tests: BRS Embaixador, Hooter, BRS Executivo, BRS Ártico, and BRS Radiante.…”

“…The common bean breeding program of Embrapa Rice and Beans is in search for cultivars with high yield potential, better disease resistance and an upright plant architecture, to enable bean harvest mechanization, so that the farmers can offer consumers a better quality product and improve the return on their investment in the crop. In this sense, new cultivars with internationally consumed grains were indicated for planting in Brazil, in the last years, e.g., BRSMG Realce , with striped grains; BRS Embaixador , with DRK beans; BRS Executivo , with sugar bean grains; BRS Ártico (Pereira et al, 2016), with white beans; IAC Nuance, with cranberry beans; and IAC Tigre, with pinto beans. However, only one cultivar of the calima group is registered: IAC Boreal (Chiorato et al, 2008) developed by the Agronomic Institute of Campinas (IAC).…”
