Use of Harvest Weed Seed Control Strategies in Arkansas Soybean
<p>Today, most growers use chemical weed management programs; however, a sole reliance on herbicides will place more resistance selection pressure on the weeds to which the herbicide is being applied. As herbicide resistance continues to grow and rob growers of yield, alternative weed control …

Weed seed destructor: A harvest weed seed control method to manage waterhemp in soybean
… J.D. Sauer) is the most common and troublesome weed in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) based cropping systems of the Midwestern United States (U.S.). Evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in waterhemp is an increasing concern for soybean producers in Iowa and across the Midwestern states …

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 …

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 …

Evaluation of integrated weed management techniques and their nuances in Virginia crop production
Herbicide resistant weeds are driving implementation of integrated weed management (IWM). A new tactic 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 …

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 …
