'CLL17' (Reg. no. CV‐160; PI 693941), a high‐yielding long‐grain rice (Oryza sativa L.) 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−1 compared with 8.9 t ha−1 for CL153, 8.3 t ha−1 for CL111, and 8.2 t ha−1 for 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 solani Kuhn ], resistant to Cercospora spp., leaf blast [caused by Magnaporthe grisea (T.T. Hebert)], and neck blast, and moderately susceptible to bacterial panicle blight (caused by Burkholderia glumae). Core Ideas: 'CLL17' is released for Clearfield rice production system.'CLL17' is a high‐yielding Clearfield long grain rice variety.'CLL17' is resistant to leaf blast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

'PVL02' (Reg. no. CV‐158, PI 691607), a Provisia (BASF) long‐grain rice (Oryza sativa L.) 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 2019. PVL02 is the second 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. PVL02 was derived from the cross 'Cheniere'/BASF1‐5 and advanced as an F2:3 row based on agronomic characteristics. Testing in the Provisia preliminary yield trial in 2014 and the Provisia multi‐location test in 2015 indicated good yield potential and favorable agronomic characteristics. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, PVL02 was evaluated in 26 replicated trials across seven locations in Louisiana. Four high‐yielding commercial cultivars were included as checks: 'Jupiter', 'CL153', 'Cheniere', and 'PVL01'. The grain yield of PVL02 was 8.2 t ha−1 compared with 9.2 t ha−1 for Jupiter, 8.6 t ha−1 for CL153, 8.5 t ha−1 for Cheniere, and 7.6 t ha−1 for PVL01. PVL02 was taller than the checks. The milled grain length was shorter than typical long grains, with a length‐to‐width ratio of 2.81. It has a typical US long‐grain rice cooking quality with intermediate amylose and gel temperature. PVL02 is moderately susceptible to sheath blight, Cercospora spp., and leaf blast and susceptible to bacterial panicle blight. Core Ideas: PVL02 is the second variety released for the Provisia rice production system.PVL02 is higher yielding than PVL01.PVL02 is earlier maturing than PVL01. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
