Abstract: BRS A705 is an early-maturing cultivar developed by Embrapa, recommended for irrigated cultivation. The plants have high tillering and moderate resistance to the main diseases. This cultivar has short stature, which confers a greater tolerance to lodging. It presents high yield and long and fine grains of excellent quality.
