AC Oxley II cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This synthetic cultivar developed for improved seedling vigour and tested as LRC95-93-1 in Western Forage Tests established in 1996 outyielded Oxley, the check cultivar, by 19%. In western Canada, under dryland conditions AC Oxley II produced 23% more dry matter than the Oxley check, while under irrigation the yield advantage was 11%. AC Oxley II is well suited for pasture and hay production in western Canada. The new cultivar produced about 10 percent more seed than Oxley at Lethbridge under irrigated conditions.

Veldt cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This synthetic cultivar, tested as LRC 94-1 in Western Forage Trials, was developed for improved seedling vigor and high forage yield. Veldt cicer milkvetch produced 19% more dry matter yield in western Canada than Oxley (check cultivar). Under non-irrigated conditions the dry matter yield of this cultivar was 15% greater than Oxley, while under irrigation the dry matter yield was 21% greater. Veldt is well suited for pasture and hay production in western Canada in both pure and mixed stands with grasses and other legumes. The seed size and seed yield of the new cultivar are about 12% higher than Oxley.Key words: Cultivar description, cicer milkvetch, Astragalus cicer L., seedling vigor, forage yield

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

AC Longview alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This cultivar, tested as LRS 93-1 in Uniform Alfalfa Tests in western Canada, is highly resistant to verticillium wilt (VW) and bacterial wilt (BW) and out-yielded Beaver (check) by about 9 and 12% in dryland and irrigated locations, respectively. AC Longview is well suited for hay production, dehydration and silage in areas of western Canada, including British Columbia, where VW or BW reduces alfalfa yield and stand life. This cultivar produces good amount of seed both under dryland and irrigated conditions of western Canada. Key words: Cultivar description, alfalfa, Medicago sativa, disease resistance

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.
