CDC Plentiful offers high yield, exceptional quality and a comprehensive disease package including the best available resistance (MR) to fusarium head blight. In addition, this variety is very early maturing making it ideal for all regions.

High yield, standability, comprehensive disease package – much more than producers asked for. Suitable for very high fertility management situations, especially where trash management is a concern.

CDC Landmark VB is the first midge tolerant wheat that is ultra high yielding, semi-dwarf, and protects against fusarium head blight.  This isn’t just a slam dunk for midge tolerant wheats, it’s a great replacement for all CWRS wheats.  CDC Landmark VB really has it all.

Strengths:

– top in class; up to 113% of checks

– wheat midge tolerant

– semi-dwarf and semi solid-stem

– strong base for fusarium IPM system

AAC Brandon is an awned, semi-dwarf CWRS variety that when compared to AC® Carberry has +5% grain yield, 0.5 days earlier maturity, 1 cm shorter and similar lodging, tolerance and disease resistance. AAC Brandon is well adapted across western Canada but will be especially attractive to wheat producers in the high yielding areas of the Prairies who desire a short, strong strawed variety with good FHB resistance.

AAC Viewfield is the shortest of all the CWRS. This variety stands straight, making production and harvest a breeze. It’s a top yielder with good resistance to fusarium head blight (FHB) and sprouting.
