Descripción

BRS Grafite is derived from the cross made at Embrapa Rice and Beans in 1986 between lines AN 512 5867/Mexico 168. Black bean production has been below national needs, leading to 50-80 thousand tons of importation per year. The breeding program at the Embrapa Rice and Beans aims to develop evaluate and release improved cultivars with broad adaptation to the growing regions.
