Abstract
AC Splendor is a late maturing orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cu
ltivar. It was developed by phenotypic selection within cv. Rideau for
winter hardiness, yield, persistence and absence of stem rust (Puccin
ia graminis) at the Plant Research Centre. Agriculture and Agri-Food C
anada, Ottawa. Its forage yield was 103.2% of cv. Kay over 15 station
years in Ontario. Yield in second and subsequent production years was
101.7% of cv. Kay over 8 station years.
