The uneven rainfall distribution in Minas Gerais increases the risks of growing upland rice. An alternative to minimize these risks is to plant early cultivars that are more likely to escape the dry spells that are most frequent in February and especially in March. For this purpose, is been releasing ‘BRSMG Relâmpago’, an early cultivar with high yield potential and good cooking quality.
