Our Vision
THE NON-CHEMICAL SOLUTION
We exist to empower farmers with technology that can help them efficiently feed the world and leave their farm to the next generation in a better state than they found it.
Our Mission
80% of the worlds weeds exit the combine harvester
Let's stop the spread by getting the best technology to as many farmers as possible, as quickly as possible and as economically as possible.
Our Vision
Seed emission control is standard on all new combines
2025 we aim to be a tick box option for farmers purchasing their new combine.
By 2030 weed emissions control will be standard on all combines.
Our Values
Unquenchable ingenuity, radical ambition, genuine sustainability
We're grounded in Agriculture, environmentally minded and love solving problems.
The Problem
Weeds & Food Security
Chemical control is a quick fix to an ongoing fight that we can’t spray our way out of.
The weeds that are present at harvest time are the fittest of the year, having survived precise chemistry applications and alternative management strategies. In typical cropping operations, 80% of these weed seeds are collected and spread across the paddock by
the combine harvester, effectively planting next year’s weed problem. This practice rescinds in-crop spraying efforts and contributes to the development of herbicide resistance.

The Solution
Harvest Weed Seed Control
The Seed Terminator intercepts weed seeds
collected by the combine harvester, pulverising
the chaff component at harvest. This
prevents the season’s strongest weeds from
germinating the following year, nipping herbicide
resistance in the bud.

Australian made components
Integrating mechanical control at harvest breaks the weed cycle, ensuring in-crop efforts aren’t in vain and preserving the sustainability of herbicides for as long as we need them.
Tough on Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass (Lolium Rigidum) has been a major focus for testing due to it’s prevalence and toughness. Ongoing university trials in Australia and overseas show the Seed Terminator is capable of killing up to 99 percent of ryegrass seeds collected by the harvester.
Restorative on the Land
Harvest Weed Seed Control leaves the land in better shape after every harvest, incrementally reducing weed burdens and chemical residues. This leads to improved moisture and nutrient levels in the soil, which unlocks planting opportunities and increases yields.
Our Impact Australian AgTech, Global Footprint
With capabilities in research, engineering and manufacturing, Seed Terminator’s impact spans agriculture, economy, society and the environment.
One Environment & Science
We test rigorously and independently, and evolve with environmental changes to create robust farming ecosystems. Integrating non-chemical weed management on farms strengthens biosecurity and reduces emissions, reconciling agricultural success with positive environmental outcomes.

The Future of Weed Control with Dr Nick Berry
The Last Call to Save Beer
WE HAVE TO RAISE THE BAR, RESTORE THE BALANCE AND SAVE BEER.
The heart and soul of the country is in crisis. A cunning new enemy is presenting the biggest threat to beer since dry July. Super weeds are invading barley crops far and wide and herbicide giants can’t keep up. Mounting chemical resistance. Yield losses. Decline in cheer and merriment. Mass cultural extinction. The race against time to save an icon of the backyard barbecue is on, and it’s a fight we can’t spray our way out of. We demand more power to the people, less reliance on chemicals and stocked fridges in every home.
