(FOA)-USDA/NIFA - IR-4 Minor Crop Pest Management (USDA-NIFA-SRGP-006701); April 3, 2019

 

Agency

US Department of Agriculture - National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA)

 

Description

The purpose of the Minor Crop Pest Management Program - Interregional Research Project #4 (IR-4) 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.
