Abstract
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
