Resumo: ABSTRACT: Embrapa, through Embrapa Savanas and Embrapa Wheat have developed a new wheat cultivar, denoted BRS 264 (Triticum aestivum L), for the savana region of Central Brazil. The new cultivar is originated from the crossing Buckbuck/Chiroca/Tui. The selection from the F2 population was performed at Embrapa Savanas, at Planaltina, DF. It is indicated for irrigated cultivation during dry seasons, in Minas Gerais, Goiás, Bahia, Mato Grosso and Distrito Federal. This cultivar presents the following main features: high production potential, large adaptability, good agronomical characteristics, industrial quality according to the market demands and precocity (avarage period from the emergence until maturation of 110 days). The average grain yield is around 15% superior as compared to the other two cultivars mostly planted within the Brazilian savana area, Embrapa 22 e Embrapa 42.
