藜麦（藜麦野生藜）是一种原产于南美的植物，主要因其高营养的种子而被使用，在过去的五年里，藜麦在北美地区的受欢迎程度飙升。这种高需求工厂的质量和获取问题促使位于安大略省乔治城的Katan Kitchens公司在安大略省进行研究并寻求商业化生产。虽然该公司准备在2015年启动安大略省的商业生产，但在安大略省北部的扩张中，由于天气条件不佳，需要降低发芽期间幼苗损失的风险。利用藜麦移植插头可以避免晚春霜冻和潮湿条件，缩短室外生长季节，并通过早期收获最大限度地提高种子和饲料产量的质量和数量。建议将种子在

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd), a plant of South American origin primarily used for its highly nutritious seed, has soared in popularity across North America in the past five years. Issues with quality and access to this high demand plant has motivated Katan Kitchens, a company based in Georgetown, ON, to research and pursue commercial production in Ontario. While the company is poised to launch Ontario commercial production in 2015, there is an identified need to mitigate risks of seedling loss during germination due to suboptimal weather conditions for Northern Ontario expansion. The opportunity exists to utilize quinoa transplant plugs to avoid late spring frosts and wet conditions, as well as shorten the outdoor growing season and maximize quality and quantity of seed and forage yields through early harvest. It is proposed to germinate seeds in
