The Cerrado has become an area of great potential cultivation due to investments genetic improvement research. Thus, this study aimed assess growth grain cultivars savannah soil Roraima, Brazil. experimental design consisted randomized blocks with four treatments five replications. following cultivars: TBIO Aton, Convicto, Duque, Trunfo. unit was represented by 18 m2 composed 14 rows 6 m, spaced at 20 cm, approximately 100 plants per meter. variables were assessed: plant height, number spikelets spike, grains spikelet, yield. In general, showed good adaptation edaphoclimatic conditions Roraima savannah. Convicto Aton are superior others terms production. industrial quality favorable use flour industry
