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.
