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

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

Barbarea vulgaris R.Br. is an introduced weed of recently disturbed areas, small-seeded grain crops, roadsides and pastures. It is abundant in southern Ontario, Quebec and the northeastern U.S.A.; frequent in the Maritimes, British Columbia and the northwest coastal U.S.A.; and rare south of 33°N, north of 50°N and across the prairies. The weediness of this species largely results from its prolific seed production, enforced and induced seed dormancy, and its rapid growth under favourable conditions. Key words: Barbarea vulgaris, yellow rocket, weed biology

AEC Mountaineer broadglumed wheatgrass, Elymus trachycaulus subsp. violaceus (Horneman) A. & D. Love, is a cultivar developed for reclaiming and revegetating disturbed sites at high elevations. It is the first cultivar of broadglumed wheatgrass available in Canada. Its primary advantage over other subspecies of slender wheatgrass is its ability to grow rapidly and produce mature seed at elevations as high as 2300 m. Production of mature seed enables plants to propagate, thus increasing plant density and stand longevity in high stress, high elevation environments.
