Horizon Ag
menu

Across the South, growers continue to rely on proven Provisia® varieties to control weedy rice and grasses while delivering cleaner fields and strong yields. PVL05 offers a potential yield advantage over PVL03, and PVL06 brings strong performance — reinforcing Horizon Ag as the leader in Provisia® rice.

PVL03

FIRST ARKANSAS-BRED PROVISIA® LINE

PVL03 offers advantages over earlier Provisia long-grain varieties, with outstanding yield potential, milling and grain appearance. It has both Pi-ta and Pi-ks genes for industry-leading blast resistance. PVL03 gives farmers unmatched ability to control and proactively manage against the development of resistant weedy rice, red rice, and grasses, by planting PVL03 and the Provisia Rice System in rotation with soybeans, Clearfield® rice and conventional rice varieties.

  • This variety has genetic markers for Pi-ta, which confers resistance to the following blast races: IA45, IB1, IB49, IB54, IB45, IH1, IG1, IC17, IE1.

*Reactions may differ due to variability of strains among pathogens.

  • 1 Height will vary with plant density and environmental conditions.
  • 2 Maturity varies with geographical region and environmental conditions in a given year.
  • 3 Seed/lb is not an exact number; it is an average from multiple samples harvested over a wide geography.
  • 4 Optimal drill-seeded planting rate is only for fungicide treated seed. If using non-treated seed, the seeding rate should be increased by a minimum of 10 lb/A.
  • 5 Optimal nitrogen rate varies from field to field. The high end should be reserved for heavy clay soils and fields where rice is followed by rice. Using the high end of the nitrogen and seeding rate recommendations may increase the incidence of disease. Please scout and treat the Clearfield® varieties accordingly. The NSt*R program is recommended where applicable and has been shown to decrease incidences of disease and lodging. Please contact your local Cooperative Extension office for more information.
