AAC Wheatland VB -Spring Wheat , CWRS

The AAC Wheatland VB CWRS is a semi-dwarf variety that has been bred for its high grain yield, high protein content, and exceptional straw strength. It is also resistant to the Orange wheat blossom midge.

AAC Wheatland VB is well-adapted to the wheat growing regions across the western Canadian Prairies. Certified seed of AAC Wheatland VB will be sold as a varietal blend made up of 90% AAC Wheatland and 10% AAC Brandon. Blending with the midge susceptible variety AAC Brandon provides a refuge area for non-virulent midge to survive at low levels, thereby extending the useful life of the Sm1 midge tolerance gene.
