藜麦是一种原产于南美的植物，主要用于制作其高度营养的种子。在过去的五年里，藜麦在北美的受欢迎程度飙升。质量和进入这个高需求工厂的问题促使总部位于安大略省乔治敦的加丹厨房公司在安大略省进行研究和商业化生产。虽然该公司准备在2015年启动安大略省的商业生产，但由于安大略省北部扩张的天气条件不佳，因此有必要减轻种子在萌发过程中损失的风险。有机会利用藜麦移栽塞来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牧草产量的质量和数量。有人建议将种子发芽在

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
