Zusammenfassung:	A seed pod shatter test system for determining the resistance to seed pod shattering in various plants, wherein the system comprises a mobile platform that is structured and operable to traverse at least one row of plants growing in plot, and at least one plant engaging head mounted to a front of the mobile platform. The at least one plant engaging head is structured and operable to condition each of the plurality of plants by contacting each of the plants in the row(s) with a predetermined amount of force as the mobile platform traverse the row(s) of plants. The system additionally comprises a data collections and analysis system that is structured and operable to determine an amount of seed pod shattering that occurred in the plurality of plants as a result of the conditioning.
