PVL05

NEXT-GEN PERFORMANCE. PROVEN PROGRESS.
PVL05 MOVES THE PROVISIA SYSTEM FORWARD.

PVL05, developed by the LSU AgCenter, represents the next generation of Provisia® varieties. It builds on the success of earlier Provisia lines with improved yield potential and stability, strong grain quality characteristics and dependable blast resistance. PVL05 delivers very good milling performance and a balanced agronomic profile for growers looking for a reliable Provisia option.

Dr. Adam Famoso, LSU AgCenter Associate Professor and rice breeder, notes PVL05’s strong performance in LSU testing, particularly in areas where PVL03 has been less consistent — positioning PVL05 as another dependable choice for Provisia growers.

  • 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.
