The Provisia® Rice System with varieties PVL03 and PVL04 has consistently proven it is the best, most reliable ACCase-inhibitor herbicide system available. PVL03 has been the top planted rice variety in Louisiana for the past two years and PVL04 gives North Delta farmers a yield edge over PVL03, plus cleaner fields. Horizon Ag is the clear leader when it comes to Provisia rice varieties.

PVL03

THE HIGHEST AND MOST STABLE-YIELDING PROVISIA® VARIETY YET

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 Seed/lb is not an exact number; it is an average from multiple samples harvested over a wide geography.
  • 3 Seeding rate is a suggestion based on drill-seeding in ideal conditions and fungicide/insecticide treated seed. Planting non-treated seed is not recommended. Seeding rate should be increased by a minimum of 10 lbs/A when using non-treated seed, planting into a rough seedbed, water-seeding, high-pH soils and soils with salinity issues.
  • 4 Nitrogen rate is a suggested rate based on a two-way split nitrogen application with the first application being applied on dry soil.
