IR-4 Project: Center for Minor Crop Pest Management

The IR-4 Project, headquartered at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, is a federal program that helps commodity producers obtain registrations and reregistrations for pest control products on minor crops, where economic considerations preclude private sector involvement. IR-4 coordinates research among state and federal cooperators, provides funding for field and laboratory studies, and develops petitions for submission to EPA. The project is a partnership involving state agricultural experiment stations; Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES); USDA; US EPA; agrichemical companies; growers; and grower organizations. IR-4 is particularly important to states that grow a large variety of specialty crops, such as California, Texas, and New Jersey.
