Protecting Specialty Crops

Who We Are

The California IR-4 Project coordinates research trials to support pesticide registrations and non-conventional pest management technologies for specialty crops.  With funding from the California Department of Food and Agriculture, these efforts are essential for delivering effective pest control tools to California farmers.

Projects

California IR-4 Project activities address an array of new and established pest control problems.  New compounds for emerging pests like Olive Fruit Fly, or new strategies for Fire Blight control in apples and pears are addressed with IR-4 projects.  Resistance management, residue mitigation, and organic controls are all issues driving our research efforts.

Get Involved

All California IR-4 Project activities start with our specialty crop growers and stakeholders. Working with you we define pest control needs and pursue solutions with our research collaborators. Give us a call and we can work together toward effective solutions.
