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.

Hazlet is a cultivar of winter rye (Secale cereale L.), developed at the Semiarid Prairie, Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, SK. Straw of Hazlet is about 10% shorter than tall cultivars such as Prima. Lodging resistance is poorer than AC Rifle and similar to Prima and Dakota. Hazlet has good winter survival and is well adapted to the Canadian Prairies. Kernels are about 16% larger and the test weight is significantly greater than the check cultivars. Grain yield is about 16% grater than that of Prima. Key words: Cultivar description, winter rye, straw strength, reduced plant height, test weight, kernel weight, Secale cereale L.

AC Remington, 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. AC Remington is a semidwarf with 20 to 25% shorter straw and improved lodging resistance compared with tall cultivars. AC Remington has good winter survival and is well adapted to the Canadian Prairies. AC Remington has improved grain yield, test weight, kernel weight and Hagberg Falling Number compared with those of the semidwarf cultivar AC Rifle. Plant height, heading, maturity and ergot infection of AC Remington are similar to those of AC Rifle. Key words: Cultivar description, semidwarf, rye (winter), Hagberg Falling Number, Secale cereale L.

Danko is a winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivar with higher yield, better lodging resistance and winter survival and higher kernel weight and test weight than Animo and Kustro, the current most commonly grown cultivars in the Maritimes. It was developed at the Polish Plant Breeding Institute, Poznan, Poland where breeder seed will be maintained. Seed will be distributed by King Grain Ltd.Key words: Secale cereale L., rye (winter), cultivar description

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

Prima, a high yielding cultivar of winter rye (Secale cereale L.), was developed at the Research Station, Agriculture Canada, Swift Current, Saskatchewan and was licensed in July 1984. In addition to its high yielding potential, Prima has good winterhardiness, high kernel mass and test mass. It is rated medium both in maturity and resistance to lodging. Prima is well adapted to Western Canadian growing conditions. Breeder seed of Prima will be maintained at Regina Research Station, Agriculture Canada. Seed will be distributed through SeCan.Key words: Rye (winter), cultivar description
