Department of Defense
Design Your Own
In the 90's the Department of Defense (DoD) made a strong commitment to use Environmental Technology. Their emphasis on being sound environmental stewards led them to establish a goal to reduce pesticide use by 50% by the year 2000. They met that goal in 1998 and in 1999 the EPA awarded the DoD a Special Achievement Award in recognition of their efforts to reduce pesticide use. They achieved the goal and are continuously working to exceed it by testing, evaluating and using new technologies.
The Armed Forces Pest Management Board requested an evaluation of the WeedSeekerŪ equipment in 1997 and in 1998, Nellis Air Force Base conducted a one-year evaluation on post-emergent weed control in parking lots, runways and taxiways. They found the equipment easy to use, reduced their labor costs by 50% and herbicides costs and use by approximately 75%. Nellis AFB liked the equipment so much they decided to buy it at the end of the Evaluation period.
The NDVEDD-Jacksonville conducted a second series of tests and evaluation in the Fall of 1999. Evaluation criteria included manufacturing quality, performance, reliability, user acceptance, safety, and suitability for DoD use. The system performed well and met or exceeded all expectations.
