Managing New Offerings from Horizon Ag to Optimize Performance and Profitability

Presented by: Dr. Tim Walker
General Manager, HorizonAg LLC

As Horizon Ag enters its third decade of providing industry leading technology, it is releasing two new high-performance rice varieties. CLL16 combines Clearfield technology in a blast resistant, conventional statured plant type typical of many University of Arkansas releases. It reaches optimum harvest moisture about 5-7 days later than current Horizon varieties, helping spread out harvest.CLL16has proven to have very high yield potential, especially in the Upper Midsouth. CLL17 is a taller semi dwarf variety developed by the LSU Ag Center that has out performed CL111 and CL153 by 5%-10% over years of testing in the Coastal rice production area.CLL17 requires about30 pounds less N than most varieties. Having pita and pi-ks genes for blast tolerancegivesCLL17 an advantage overCL151.
