BRSMG União: common bean cultivar with jalo grain for the state of Minas Gerais

Abstract

-The bean cultivar BRSMG União as a new option of a bean cultivar with jalo grains for the state of Minas Gerais. The cultivar BRSMG União had an average grain yield of 9.8% above the mean of the controls (Jalo EEP 558 and BRS Radiante) and was resistant to powdery-mildew.

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

“…In this sense, new cultivars with other grain types than carioca and black have been released in the past years, e.g. : BRSMG Realce , with red speckled grains; BRS Embaixador (Aidar et al 2008a), with DRK (dark red kidney) grains; BRS Executivo (Aidar et al 2008b), with sugar bean grain; and BRSMG União (Ramalho et al 2012), with jalo (yellow) grains. However, for the white group, only two cultivars are registered, with smaller grain size than required for the international market: Ouro Branco (Chagas et al 1994), indicated by Epamig/UFV; and IPR Garça, indicated by IAPAR.…”
