Program Areas
To deliver on our mission goals of supporting pest control product registration for specialty crops, the IR-4 Project has three program areas:
- Food Use Program
Facilitates regulatory approval of sustainable pest management technology for food crops to promote public health and well being
- Environmental Horticulture
Helps growers of ornamental crops by expanding existing pest management product labels and pursuing new products for registration through efficacy and crop safety trials
- Integrated Solutions
Encompasses research on conventional chemistries, biological products and other non-conventional pest management solutions for growers of both food and ornamental crops
