Yellowhead is a cultivar of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. Subsp. falcata). Yellowhead was selected at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), Swift Current, SK, and developed through the collaboration of Research Centres of AAFC in Saskatchewan. Yellowhead is a “falcata type”, i.e., yellow flowered with sickle shaped seed pods, with about 60% of the plants displaying the rhizomatous characteristic. Yellowhead is moderately resistant to bacterial wilt and particularly tolerant of competition in mixed swards with grass and under heavy grazing. The herbage yield of Yellowhead was not significantly different from that of the parent population, ScMf 3713 and check cultivars in trials conducted on dryland near Swift Current, Saskatchewan.Key words: Cultivar description, winter hardiness, persistence, grazing tolerance

Alert is a high-yielding, semi-erect great northern common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar. It was developed from a series of crosses at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), Cali, Colombia, on contract to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Research Centre, Lethbridge, with cooperation from the AAFC Morden Research Station. Alert is well adapted to the eastern Canadian prairies, yielding significantly higher than the check cultivar, US1140, at 130% in the official Manitoba Dry Bean Co-operative Registration Trials. Alert is moderately resistant to white mold and resistant to races 1 and 15 of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). It is susceptible to the alpha and alpha Brazil races of anthracnose, but resistant to the delta race.

AC Caribou alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a cultivar developed by the Agriculture Canada Research Station in Sainte-Foy. It is similar to Iroquois in maturity, rate of growth, and fall dormancy. It is highly resistant to bacterial wilt (caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidiosus (McCulloch) Davis, Gillaspie, Vidaver & Harris), resistant to verticillium wilt (caused by Verticillium albo-atrum Reinke & Berth.), and moderately resistant to phytophthora root rot (caused by Phytophthora megasperma Dreschs. f. sp. medicaginis T. Kuan & D. C. Erwin). AC Caribou, an alfalfa with fine leafy stems, is well suited for production in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces where winter survival may be a problem.Key words: Alfalfa, Medicago sativa, cultivar description

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

AC Nordica alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was developed by the Agriculture Canada Research Station at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is similar to Beaver alfalfa in having a broad crown and a tap root with many branches. AC Nordica is 1–2 d earlier in maturity than Beaver. It is shorter than Beaver at 10% bloom, is slightly slower in regrowth following harvest, and displays less spring vigor. However, it excels in winter hardiness, rating similar to Anik and Drylander alfalfa. AC Nordica is highly resistant to bacterial wilt (Clavibacter michiganense subsp. insidiosum [McCulloch] Davis, Gillaspie, Vidaver & Harris), and moderately resistant to snow mold (Coprinus psychromorbidus Redhead & Traquair). AC Nordica is intended as a special-purpose cultivar for the northern prairies, the Peace River area of Alberta, and other high snowfall areas where snow mold (winter crown rot) may occur and where extreme winter hardiness is required.

AC Rifle, a cultivar of winter rye (Secale cereale L.), was developed at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, Saskatchewan. It is the first semi-dwarf cultivar registered for production in the Prairie Provinces of Western Canada. AC Rifle represents a 30% reduction in plant height compared to conventional height cultivars. Gram yield potential and winter hardiness of AC Rifle is equal to the check cultivars It has improved lodging resistance over all other adapted cultivars of winter rye. Key words: Cultivar description, semi-dwarf, rye (winter), Secale cereale L.

AC Certa, a spring triticale cultivar (X Triticosecale Wittmack) was developed at CIMMYT and introduced by the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, via the 21st ITSN in 1989. It is widely adapted to the Prairie Provinces. AC Certa represents a significant improvement in test weight. AC Certa has an improved Hagberg Falling Number which is usually associated with improved harvest-time sprouting resistance AC Certa is very resistant to the prevalent races of stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.); leaf rust (caused by P. recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici); highly resistant to common bunt [caused by Tilletia foetida Wallr.) Liro and T. caries (DC) Tul.], and resistant to common root rot [caused primarily by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.) Shoemaker].

Island is a high-yielding, tall, partially upright pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), with short vines and an average seed weight of 38.5 g 100 seeds-1. It was developed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Research Centre, Lethbridge, AB, in collaboration with the AAFC Research Station, Morden, MB. Island is well adapted to wide-row irrigated production of the Canadian prairies, with yields exceeding those of Othello, the check cultivar. Island is moderately susceptible, as is Othello, to race 73 of anthracnose [caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib]; and is moderately resistant to white mould [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary].
