Study shows seed impact mills clobber waterhemp seed viability

Research appearing in the journal Weed Science shows promise for controlling herbicide-resistant weeds in soybean fields by using a seed impact mill at harvest. When installed on a combine, this harvest weed-seed control system (HWSC) mechanically damages weed seeds as they move through the mill to render them non-viable.
The article from MSN discusses a study conducted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which found that using seed impact mills can significantly reduce the viability of waterhemp seeds. Waterhemp, a notorious weed in agricultural fields, has developed resistance to many herbicides, making its control challenging. The study tested various seed impact mills, which work by crushing or grinding seeds as they pass through the combine harvester. Results showed that these mills could destroy up to 98% of waterhemp seeds, with the Harrington Seed Destructor being particularly effective. This method not only helps in reducing the seed bank in the soil but also offers a non-chemical approach to weed management, potentially decreasing reliance on herbicides and aiding in sustainable farming practices.
