Description
The
purpose of the IR-4 program is to enable the crop protection industry to
provide safe, effective, and economical crop protection products for growers
and consumers of minor/specialty crops. The crop protection industry cannot
justify the costs associated with the research and development, registration,
production, and marketing of crop protection products for minor/specialty crops
due to the smaller market base and limited sales potential. The IR-4 program
provides the assistance needed to ensure that new and more effective crop
protection products are developed and made available to minor/specialty crop
producers. These efforts require effective collaborations among federal
agencies, the crop protection industry, and land-grant colleges and
universities.
