PVL06

EARLY MATURITY. ELITE POTENTIAL. PVL06 RAISES THE BAR FOR PROVISIA PERFORMANCE.

PVL06 is an early-maturing, conventional-stature long grain Provisia® variety developed by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. In multi-location Southern trials, it has delivered the highest yield potential of any Provisia variety to date, along with good milling quality and broad adaptability. With the Pi-kh blast-resistance gene and strong agronomics, PVL06 represents the next major advancement in the Provisia Rice System.

Dr. Tim Walker, CEO of Horizon Ag, notes its consistent performance across diverse environments, slightly taller plant height and early indications of very good ratoon potential — making PVL06 a promising option for growers prioritizing both top-end yield and ROI.

    *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.
