Variety for industrial use with high root and dry matter productivity and high starch quality.

BRS Novo Horizonte is suitable for mechanized planting in the micro-regions of Valença, Jequié and Santo Antônio de Jesus (BA).
Another advantage is the light-colored shell, which facilitates the extraction of starch without dark traces, increasing the quality of the product for the food industry that uses native starch, such as the tapioca starch industry.
