This grant is for enabling the crop protection industry to provide safe, effective, and economical products for minor/specialty crop growers and consumers. The Interregional Research Project #4 (IR-4) recognizes that the industry often cannot justify the significant costs of developing and registering products for smaller markets. Therefore, the IR-4 program provides essential assistance to ensure new and more effective crop protection solutions are developed and made available. These efforts require robust collaboration among federal agencies, the crop protection industry, and land-grant colleges and universities to benefit specialty crop producers.
