Researchers at the University of Illinois and USDA-ARS in Urbana, IL recently took their Harrington Seed Destructor for a spin through waterhemp-infested soybean and corn test plots to evaluate how well it performs at destroying waterhemp seeds. This is the first season that this HSD has been tested in-field in Illinois, and we look forward to seeing the results. The HSD has the potential to be a powerful tool for eliminating the seeds from escaped weeds at harvest, including challenging herbicide resistant weeds like waterhemp and Palmer Amaranth. Watch this short video with Adam Davis to learn how this innovative machine works.
