Jay is a cultivar of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) developed by the Crop Science Department, University of Guelph. It was developed by half-sib progeny testing for yield, leafiness, and late-maturity. It is similar in herbage yield and plant height but slightly later maturing than the cultivar Kay. Jay is suited for situations where a late-maturing orchardgrass is desired. Key words: Orchardgrass, Dactylis glomerata, cultivar description

Jay is a cultivar of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) developed by the Department of Plant Agriculture, University of Guelph. The nine parents of Jay were selected for general vigour, late maturity, plant height at heading, and aftermath vigour. It is similar in herbage yield and plant height but slightly later maturing than the cultivar Kay. Jay is suited for situations where a late-maturing orchardgrass is desired. Key words: Orchardgrass, Dactylis glomerata, cultivar description

OAC Bright is a birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) cultivar developed by the Crop Science Department, University of Guelph. It was developed by within and among half-sib progeny recurrent selection for seedling vigour and seed yield. OAC Bright has 2% higher seedling vigour and 0.8% higher herbage yield than Leo. It has similar maturity and persistence to Leo. Key words: Birdsfoot trefoil, cultivar description, seedling vigour, seed yield, recurrent selection

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

OAC Rico, a backcross-derived anthracnose-resistant cultivar of field bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) similar in agronomic performance to Ex Rico 23, was developed by the Crop Science Department, University of Guelph. OAC Rico carries the Are gene that confers resistance to alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma, and lambda races of anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magn.) Briosi and Cav.).Key words: Cultivar description, anthracnose resistant, bean (white)

Alfalfa or orchardgrass hay was fed to cattle before feeding fresh alfalfa herbage at the vegetative to early bud stage of growth to observe the subsequent impact on bloat. Alfalfa hay supplements reduced the incidence of bloat by a third in one trial, but no effect was seen in a second trial. In contrast, supplements of orchardgrass hay reduced the occurrence of bloat by > 90% in 2 yr of trials. Supplemental orchardgrass hay can be effective in the control of pasture bloat. Key words: Steers, frothy bloat, Medicago sativa L., Dactylis glomerata L., hay supplements
