CLM05 (New)

FIRST CLEARFIELD MEDIUM GRAIN VARIETY RELEASED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

New CLM05, developed in the University of Arkansas rice breeding program, will be available from Horizon Ag seed retailers for 2025. In multi-year testing in the region, it has proven to consistently outperform popular commercial medium grain varieties like CLM04 and Jupiter in grain yield, disease resistance and lodging resistance. As a Clearfield system variety, CLM05 offers tremendous value by providing growers with excellent grass and red rice control.

*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 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 lbs/A.
  • 4 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.
