Evaluation of integrated weed management techniques and their nuances in Virginia crop production
… to manage weeds is harvest weed seed control (HWSC), which targets weed seeds retained on the plant at crop harvest and either destroys, removes, or concentrates them. Research is limited on the effectiveness of HWSC in US cropping systems. For HWSC to be effective it is important to know when …

Harvest Weed Seed Control: An Integrated Weed Management Strategy for Organic and Conventional Production Systems
Harvest weed seed controls (HWSC) destroy weed seeds that are retained by the plant at crop harvest, which would typically be spread by the harvester along with other field residues. HWSC exploits coincidental maturity between crops and weeds, so an experiment was designed to collect weed seeds as …

Use of Harvest Weed Seed Control Strategies in Arkansas Soybean
… effective herbicides. Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) is a non-chemical practice that has been widely adopted in Australia due to herbicide resistance problems. In most cases, herbicide-resistant weeds that survive applications of herbicides produce viable seed that pass through the combine …

Evaluation of Seed Impact Mills for Harvest Weed Seed Control in Soybean and Wheat in the Eastern United States
Harvest Weed Seed Control (HWSC) concentrates, removes, or destroys weed seeds as they pass through the combine. Seed impact mills are modifications that are mounted directly to the back of a combine and are one way to implement HWSC. Seed impact mills kill weed seeds during harvest, preventing …

Exploring the potential of chaff lining in Virginia wheat and soybean production
Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) methods concentrate, remove, or destroy weed seeds captured by the combine during harvest. Furthermore, chaff lining uses a chute fitted on the back of a combine to concentrate chaff and weed seed therein into a narrow line. Since chaff amount increases with crop …

Weed seed destructor: A harvest weed seed control method to manage waterhemp in soybean
… (IWM) strategies. Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) is one of the potential tools that can be used to limit weed seed inputs into seedbank at the time of crop harvest. Research on the potential of HWSC methods in the U.S. cropping systems is lacking. Objectives of this research were: 1) to …
