The varieties AAC Grainland , AAC Weyburn VB , AAC Raymore , AAC Stronghold , and AAC Cabri have solid stems with resistance to the wheat stem sawfly.
Midge tolerant varieties are designated by the letters ‘VB’, which stands for Varietal Blend. The varieties contain the Sm1 gene for tolerance. To manage against the build-up of midge resistance to the gene, an interspersed refuge
is used commercially. More information on midge tolerant wheat varieties and interspersed refuge can be found at www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.
