Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) infection is highly influenced by the environment and heading date. Under high levels of FHB all varieties will sustain damage, Moderately Resistant (MR) and Resistant (R) ratings for FHB do not equate to immunity. AAC Concord has a solid stem that confers resistance to the wheat stem sawfly. Varieties rated Intermediate (I) to Susceptible (S) for loose smut or bunt should be treated with a systemic seed treatment to reduce the potential for infection. VB - designates a varietal blend to preserve the Sm1orange wheat blossom midge tolerance gene. New CNHR registra- tions: CDC Cordon CLPlus VB (HY2003). Insufficient data to describe: Faller, Prosper.
