‘PVL03’ (Reg. no. CV‐159, PI 699656), a Provisia (BASF) long‐grain rice (Oryza sativaL.) cultivar, was developed by the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center at the H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station near Crowley, LA, and approved for release in 2020. PVL03 is the third rice cultivar released as part of the Provisia Rice System with resistance to Provisia herbicide, containing the active ingredient quizalofop‐p‐ethyl, an AACase (group 1) herbicide. PVL03 was derived from the cross ‘PVL01’/‘Catahoula’. Testing in the Provisia preliminary yield trial in 2018 and the multi‐location trial in 2019 indicated good yield potential and favorable agronomic characteristics. In 2020, PVL03 was evaluated in commercial advanced replicated trials across six locations in Louisiana. Four high‐yielding commercial cultivars were included as checks: ‘PVL02’, PVL01, ‘CL153’, and ‘Cheniere’. The average grain yield of PVL03 was 9.6 t ha−1compared with 8.0 t ha−1for PVL02, 8.1 t ha−1for PVL01, 9.8 t ha−1for CL153, and 9.1 t ha−1for Cheniere. PVL03 was shorter than the previous Provisia cultivar, PVL02. The milled grain length was longer than that of PVL02, with a length‐to‐width ratio of 3.0. It has a typical US long‐grain rice cooking quality with intermediate amylose and gelatinization temperature. PVL03 is moderately susceptible to sheath blight and moderately resistant to leaf blast and bacterial panicle blight. PVL03 is the third cultivar released for the Provisia rice production system.PVL03 is higher yielding than the previous Provisia rice cultivars.PVL03 has better grain and milling quality than previous Provisia rice cultivars.PVL03 offers broad spectrum resistance to the fungal disease blast.

‘CLL17’ (Reg. no. CV‐160; PI 693941), a high‐yielding long‐grain rice (Oryza sativaL.) cultivar, was developed by the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center at the H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station near Crowley, LA, and approved for release in 2020. CLL17 contains the herbicide‐resistant gene for use in the Clearfield rice production system. The Clearfield rice production system is defined as the brand of rice cultivars that are tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides. CLL17 was derived from the cross ‘CL131’/‘Trenasse’. It showed good yield potential and favorable agronomic characteristics in the 2015 Clearfield Preliminary Yield Trial. In 2016, it was evaluated in the uniform regional rice nursery trial across four southern states. From 2017 to 2022, CLL17 was evaluated in 50 replicated trials across 10 locations in Louisiana. Three high‐yielding commercial cultivars were included as checks: ‘Cheniere’, ‘CL153’, and ‘CL111’. The grain yield of CLL17 was 9.0 t ha−1compared with 8.9 t ha−1for CL153, 8.3 t ha−1for CL111, and 8.2 t ha−1for Cheniere across 25 commercial advanced trials from 2017 to 2020. CLL17 had a similar plant height to CL111, 2‐cm taller than CL153, and 5‐cm taller than Cheniere. It exhibits typical US long‐grain rice cooking quality with intermediate amylose and gel temperature. CLL17 is susceptible to sheath blight [caused by Rhizoctonia solaniKuhn ], resistant to Cercosporaspp., leaf blast [caused by Magnaporthe grisea(T.T. Hebert)], and neck blast, and moderately susceptible to bacterial panicle blight (caused by Burkholderia glumae). ‘CLL17’ is released for Clearfield rice production system.‘CLL17’ is a high‐yielding Clearfield long grain rice variety.‘CLL17’ is resistant to leaf blast.
