CLL20 and PVL06

Two of our newer varieties are worth a close look as you plan 2027: CLL20 is an improvement in yield compared to CLL19 in the Coastal Region and offers much greater milling yields compared to CLL18 in the Upper Delta. PVL06 is the highest yielding Provisia variety released to date. Read on to see what each one brings to your acres.

CLL20 is a long-grain Clearfield® variety developed by LSU AgCenter. It produces low-chalk, translucent grain built for premium-quality markets, and it has shown substantially higher whole grain milling yields than CLL18 in trials.

• 50% heading in about 80 days
• 41 inches tall; moderately susceptible to lodging
• Amylose 2 class cereal chemistry
• Carries the Pi-ta blast resistance gene
• Seeding rate: 55 to 65 lb/A drill-seeded with treated seed
• Nitrogen: 140 to 180 lb N/A total

PVL06 is an early-maturing, conventional-stature long-grain Provisia® variety developed by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. It has shown the highest yield potential of any Provisia variety to date in multi-location Southern trials, along with good milling quality and consistent performance across different growing environments.

• 50% heading in about 87 days
• 42 inches tall; moderately susceptible to lodging
• Amylose 2 class cereal chemistry
• Good milling when harvested at optimum moisture (17-20%)
• Susceptible to sheath blight and blast, so plan fungicide decisions accordingly
• Seeding rate: 50 to 60 lb/A with treated seed
• Nitrogen: 120 to 160 lb N/A total
