BRS Novo Horizonte - a new cassava variety for industrial use

Abstract The new cassava variety ‘BRS Novo Horizonte’ was developed and released in Bahia, Brazil for industrial use, particularly for starch production. The fresh and dry root yields were 39% and 44% higher, respectively, than those of local varieties. The root quality traits allowed the extraction of high-quality starch. The variety is also adapted for mechanized cropping systems.摘要：本研究培育并于巴西巴伊亚州发布了工业专用木薯新品种‘BRS Novo Horizonte’，该品种尤其适用于淀粉生产。其鲜薯产量与干薯产量分别较当地品种高出39%与44%。该品种的块根品质性状优异，可提取高品质淀粉，同时适配机械化种植体系。
