  2. IR-4 Project • IR-4 = Interregional Research Project No. 4 • The IR-4 Project has been the major resource for supplying pest management tools for specialty crop growers by developing research data to support new EPA tolerances and labeled product uses. • Established in 1963 by USDA • Minor use crops-Fewer than 3000,000 acres College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences

  3. All the moving parts College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences

  4. IR-4 Programs • Food Crop Program • Residue studies, efficacy & crop safety • Crop Grouping • International Synchronization of MRL’s • Ornamental Horticulture Program • Biopesticide and Organic Program College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences

  5. Registrations • To Support the Establishment of Food Use Tolerances/Clearances for: • Section 3 registrations “Full registration” • 24(c) registrations “Special Local Need” (SLN) registration • Section 18 Time limited tolerances “Emergency Use Exemption” • Since 2000, over 80% of IR-4 research involved • Reduced Risk Products College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
