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 …

The ecology of Brassica napus
… are strong competitors and produce large seed yields, however seed shattering during harvest creates large volunteer seedbanks. The segregation of hybrid trait and changes in variability of traits may allow successive generations of volunteer B. napus weeds to display different levels of …

The Impact of Herbicide-Resistant Rice and Hybrid Rice Technology on Weedy Rice Evolution
… that of ClearfieldTM rice with greatly reduced seed shattering in progenies of some accessions (15 to 87%). Kernels of 20% of the parent accessions had segregating white and red bran color. Two of these parent accessions (goldhull) were homozygous for white bran, with 100% white-bran progenies. …

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 …
