Farming for the future
With the acceleration of climate change, resource depletion and threats to natural ecosystems, one of the major challenges is to meet future food demands in a sustainable manner.
HARDI is therefore developing future ready solutions that help our customers to maximise yield while reducing their environmental impacts, optimising management of natural resources and complying with regulatory standards. We provide a range of products that protect and improve agricultural productivity, and are continuously developing more innovative technological solutions.

As a part of our commitment to the environment, water used during the testing process is recaptured through a floor grate and recirculated through a cleansing system and recycled. HARDI has a full water recovery system and are able to run spray tests for 24 hours and longer.

As one of the world’s only spraying specialists, HARDI is dedicated to advancing spraying technology to improve productivity, efficiency, operator safety, cost savings, chemical usage and environmental outcomes.
Powered by our international network of spraying innovation centres that includes Adelaide, and spurred on by the stringent requirements of the European Union, HARDI offers decades of global leadership in spray control, fluid systems, nozzle control, boom control, tank design, filling systems and more.
HARDI's H-Select droplet control system offers in-cab on-the-move control of droplet size and rate, for precise and responsive spray control through turns, speed changes and weather conditions at different times of the day.
Learn more about H-Select hereHARDI's latest innovation in spraying technology, GeoSelect, was developed in-house at HARDI Australia's headquarters in Adelaide. It is unique in being able to provide an accurate estimation of mixed chemical required before spraying starts, and will then target weeds in the paddock with pinpoint accuracy – all with a minimum of extra equipment or weight on the spray boom.
“The only thing that gets wasted is the weeds.”
GeoSelect is the latest in long line of class-leading innovations that include the HARDI Twin air assisted spray system, AutoTerrain boom control, ActivAir nozzle switching and more.

Origins of the HARDI logo
Farming during the 30's and 40's is developing from manual work, using horses as the main power, to mechanisation with investments in tractors and implements as well as accelerated use of fertiliser and chemicals to get a more efficient production.
Hartvig Jensen & Co. is founded in 1957. Their strategy is "each farmer his own sprayer"
The original HARDI logo was based on the diaphragm in the HARDI pump.
