Abstract

ARC Sentinel spike trisetum (Trisetum spicatum L.) Richt. (Moss 1992) is a low-growing native grass cultivar developed by the Alberta Research Council Inc. for reclamation and revegetation of disturbed sites at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. This is the first spike trisetum cultivar released in Canada for commercial production. This cultivar is well adapted to grow and produce viable seed during the short growing seasons found in the alpine and sub-alpine regions of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Field observations indicate that ARC Sentinel spike trisetum can tolerate drought and winter conditions of the Canadian prairies where it is grown for seed production. Key words: Spike trisetum, Trisetum spicatum, reclamation, revegetation, cultivar description, native rasses
