Controlling resistant weed species is a major problem for farmers. Marestail, waterhemp and palmer amaranth are the most challenging weed species to control. Soybean research funding has gone into examining various methods of weed control, including using electrical charge and grinders. No matter what type of prevention is used to combat weeds, resistance will eventually prevail. The grinder is mounted on the back of a combine and renders weed seed non-viable. The Weed Zapper has a large electrical generator pulled behind a tractor with an electrocution bar mounted on loader arms.
