Dalton alfalfa (Medicago sativa) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This cultivar, tested as LRC01CR in western Canada, is derived from parental clones that are both bacterial wilt (BW) and verticillium wilt (VW) resistant. When grown under irrigated and rainfed conditions for forage it out yielded Beaver (check) by 3%, for seed it out yielded Beaver on irrigation by 19%. Dalton is well suited to forage and seed production in western Canada where VW may be of concern. Key words: Cultivar description, alfalfa, Medicago sativa

AC Blue J alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This verticillium wilt and bacterial wilt resistant cultivar outyielded Beaver by about 8% in 4-yr trials and 15% in 7-yr trials in western Canada. It is well suited for hay production, dehydration, and silage in areas where verticillium wilt reduces alfalfa yield and stand life. Key words: Cultivar description, alfalfa, Medicago sativa

AC Longview alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This cultivar, tested as LRS 93-1 in Uniform Alfalfa Tests in western Canada, is highly resistant to verticillium wilt (VW) and bacterial wilt (BW) and out-yielded Beaver (check) by about 9 and 12% in dryland and irrigated locations, respectively. AC Longview is well suited for hay production, dehydration and silage in areas of western Canada, including British Columbia, where VW or BW reduces alfalfa yield and stand life. This cultivar produces good amount of seed both under dryland and irrigated conditions of western Canada. Key words: Cultivar description, alfalfa, Medicago sativa, disease resistance

AC Oxley II cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This synthetic cultivar developed for improved seedling vigour and tested as LRC95-93-1 in Western Forage Tests established in 1996 outyielded Oxley, the check cultivar, by 19%. In western Canada, under dryland conditions AC Oxley II produced 23% more dry matter than the Oxley check, while under irrigation the yield advantage was 11%. AC Oxley II is well suited for pasture and hay production in western Canada. The new cultivar produced about 10 percent more seed than Oxley at Lethbridge under irrigated conditions.

ACE-1 perennial cereal rye (PC rye) (Secale cereale) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This cultivar, tested as LRC 96-1 in western Canada, was developed for silage and greenfeed. ACE-1 is easy to establish, competes well with weeds, grows early in spring, produces more biomass than barley and fall rye under dryland and irrigated conditions, but produces less seed than high yielding fall rye cultivars. Forage quality of ACE-1 was found to be similar to barley. Key words: Cultivar description, rye, perennial, Secale cereale

AC Morgan is a high-yielding spring oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivar developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe Research Centre, Lacombe, Alberta and released in 1999. It is described as a medium maturing cultivar with strong straw, plump kernels, high test weight, high protein content, low hull content and high milling yield. It also has low oil content, which is a desirable feature in milling oat cultivars. AC Morgan is well adapted to Alberta and the rust-free areas of Saskatchewan.

AEC Glacier alpine bluegrass, Poa alpina L., is a reclamation cultivar developed for use in reclaiming and revegetating disturbed sites at high elevations. It is the second alpine bluegrass cultivar released by the Alberta Environmental Centre, Vegreville, AB. This cultivar is expected to complement a prior release, AEC Blueridge alpine bluegrass. AEC Glacier is adapted to high elevations where it is capable of rapid growth and seed production. Key words: Alpine bluegrass, Poa alpina, cultivar description, reclamation

AC Emerson, a medium-early maturing oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), was released by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Agri-Food Diversification Research Centre, Morden, Manitoba, in 1994. The cultivar has high oil quality, medium-large seed size and was high yielding in both early and late seeding tests in the Black and the Brown Soil zones of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Because of its chlorosis tolerance, it is particularly well suited to the calcareous soils of Manitoba. It is immune to North American races of rust caused by Melampsora lini and moderately resistant to wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini. Key words: Flax, oilseed, Linum usitatissimum L., cultivar description
