Embrapa launches rice cultivar for Maranhão
BRS A706 CL, an irrigated rice cultivar with a medium cycle and high production potential, is recommended for irrigated environments in several states in Brazil, including Maranhão
Area planted with rainfed rice was specifically favored in the municipality of São Mateus do Maranhão, which resulted in an increase in the total planted area of rice in the State, which reached 98,3 thousand ha, 6,2% above the area planted in the previous harvest
Favorable climatic conditions, especially the distribution and accumulation of rainfall, have been decisive in diagnosing the results obtained in the management of the main crops cultivated in the state
