Potential of grain amaranth production in eastern Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The potential of grain amaranth production in southwestern Quebec was studied. Twenty-nine cultivars were evaluated in single row plots, and seven in mechanically managed plots. Yields averaged 27 g plant-1 in single row plots, and 649 kg ha-1 in mechanically managed plots. Another set of experiments evaluated different seeding dates, row spacings, seeding rates and nitrogen fertilization rates. Seeding date and nitrogen fertilization affected grain yield in one environment, and seeding rate and row spacing did not affect yield. Grains in all experiments required drying. These experiments suggest that grain amaranth could be cultivated in southwestern Quebec. Oxalate concentration and form were determined in seeds from the cultivar, seeding date and nitrogen fertilization trials, and the effects of cooking on oxalate were evaluated. Fertilization increased oxalate concentration, seeding date had no effects, and cooking increased soluble oxalate. Grain amaranth is high in oxalate, but its absorbability is probably low.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
