Chemical treatment, Hughey
said, has been limited because the
federal government has approved
fewer herbicides each year. The
herbicides used continually on the
weeds tends to become ineffective
as the weeds become immune to the
treatment, he continued. The
weeds do not grow immune to mi
crowave treatment, Hughey said.

years, Hughey said, thus saving the
grower some money in the long run.
Hughey said that the first weed
zapper is called Zapper III.
The Zapper III is self-propelled
and passes over the rows of the
field. With the use of soil handling
attachments located close to the
ground, the machine scoops up the
soil and passes it through a mi
crowave unit. Once the soil is ex
posed, the machine places it back on
the ground.
Hughey said production cost of
the Zapner III would exceed
ALL-UNIVERSITY
$250,000 per unit. The corporation
spent $1 million in research, and
would need another $10 million to
start production, he said.
Because production cost of the
units makes the manufacturing and
distribution of the Zapper III im
possible for the Oceanography
International Corporation, Hughey
said that on approval of the
shareholders, the corporation plans
to look for a distributor.
