The Beginning of an Era with Provisia in Texas

The first field of Provisia rice variety, PVL 02, ever planted in Texas is looking fantastic! This field seeded with 58-60 lbs/A is off to a good start with excellent germination and weed control. A preemergence treatment of Sharpen 2 fl oz/A + Command was applied for residual weed control and emerging red rice, volunteer rice and other grasses will soon be annihilated with Provisia herbicide. The introduction of the Provisia Rice System has been very timely for control of "weedy rice" as rice growers seek to reclaim fields challenged with resistant grasses.Provisia rice, PVL 02, in Wharton County, TX
