Weed seed destructor: A harvest weed seed control method to manage waterhemp in soybean
… weed management (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 …

Seed Dispersal by Aquatic Turtles
Seed dispersal capabilities by several common aquatic turtles in Southwestern Missouri were investigated. Fecal matter was first obtained during a summer seed survey in which stinkpots (Sternotherus odoratus), river cooters (Pseudemys concinna), spiny soft-shell turtles (Apalone spinifera), and …

Growth Parameters and Their Use in Predicting Seed Yield in Soybeans (seed-Filling Period, Glycine Max)
… has demonstrated a positive relationship between seed-filling period (SFP) and seed yield in soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill . Two studies were conducted to (1) predict the gain in seed yield by selection for SFP and (2) to determine which growth parameters are most important to seed yield among …

Interrelationships between Soybean Seed Quality Characteristics
… within soybean protein may be influenced by the seed protein concentration. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of seed protein concentration on relative amino acid abundance under controlled environments in order to better understand the biological basis of this apparent relationship. This …
