AC Langille is a birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) cultivar developed by the Nappan Research Farm, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It was developed through two cycles of mass selection for winterhardiness and one cycle of mass selection for seedling vigor. The original material was six distinct germplasms selected from the cultivar Leo and released from the Crop Science Department of the University of Guelph. AC Langille is superior to the check cultivar Leo in forage yield and seedling vigor in Atlantic Canada. Key words: Birdsfoot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus, cultivar description, seedling vigor

AC Nordic is a late-maturing orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivar. It was developed by mass selection for yield, persistence and resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis) at the Plant Research Centre, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. Its yield was similar to that of cv. Sumas in a total of 33 station years in Quebec. Yield in second and subsequent production years was 101.6% of cv. Sumas over 19 station years. Key words: Dactylis glomerata L., orchardgrass
