The IR-4 Project's Ornamental Horticulture Program helps provide safe and effective pest management solutions for greenhouse, nursery, landscape, Christmas tree, and forestry producers.
This program works with growers, researchers, registrants, and regulatory agencies to facilitate new product registrations, and also to place new diseases, insects, and weeds, as well as new crops, on already-registered ornamental horticulture product labels.
Every other year, the program prioritizes the next two-year research plan at its Ornamental Horticulture Workshop. Currently the IR-4 Project is inviting growers to help focus research prioritization by answering a few questions about the diseases, insects, and weeds which impact your business. The brief, online survey is available until September 1, 2017.
Check out the survey here.
