Quinoa production is primarily centered in Bolivia and Peru. Although production in Canada is variable, certain provinces have successfully been able to grow quinoa, 80 percent of which is grown organically, on a commercial scale. Katan Kitchens has emerged as a leader in research and development of quinoa in Ontario. Existing research has shown that quinoa is a viable crop for Ontario, but that production improvements are needed to enhance yields in an organic agriculture setting. Primary production challenges include nitrogen fertility and weed management strategies, particularly in dealing with Lamb's-quarters. Our goals are to (i) determine the optimum rate of MSW, and (ii) assess the weed management strategies for organic quinoa production in Ontario. The research findings will provide Katan Kitchens with production guidelines, enabling

藜麦生产主要集中在玻利维亚和秘鲁。尽管加拿大的产量存在差异，但某些省份已成功种植藜麦，其中 80% 是商业规模的有机种植。 Katan Kitchens 已成为安大略省藜麦研发领域的领导者。现有研究表明，藜麦对于安大略省来说是一种可行的作物，但需要改进产量以提高有机农业的产量。主要生产挑战包括氮肥力和杂草管理策略，特别是在处理羊角时。我们的目标是 (i) 确定城市固体废弃物的最佳比率，以及 (ii) 评估安大略省有机藜麦生产的杂草管理策略。研究结果将为 Katan Kitchens 提供生产指南，使
