The USDA’s IR-4 program supports the crop protection industry in developing safe and affordable pest management products for minor/specialty crop farmers. This program addresses the challenge of limited market potential for such products by facilitating research, development, and registration processes. Collaboration among federal agencies, the industry, and academic institutions is crucial for the success of this initiative. Growers and consumers of minor/specialty crops benefit from the availability of new and improved crop protection solutions. The closing date for applications is April 30, 2014.
