The BRS 189 Dwarf Cashew Clone was developed by Embrapa Agroindustria Tropical for irrigated cultivation on the Brazilian Northeastern coast and similar localities. Both the nut and the apple are suitable for consumption. The cashew apple presents the best characteristics for in natura commercialization, especially color, good shape and size, firm texture and high SST and vitamin C contents that are outstanding even when compared with the control clones CCP 76 and CCP 09.
