What is IR4?
The IR4 Northeast region is apart of the IR4 Project serving specialty crop growers across the U.S, to help ensure that these growers have access to legal, effective, and safe products that protect crops. IR4 helps these specialty growers by conducting research on a potential product that can be used to protect crops. The data from this research can then be used to analyze the safety and effectiveness of this product, as well as to support this product for legal usage.
