For 60 years, The IR-4 Project has been a trusted ally of the specialty crop community. By facilitating Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration of sustainable pest management products and technologies, IR-4 helps growers access safe products to protect their crops. Healthy and abundant specialty crop harvests are vital to public wellbeing. We are headquartered at NC State University and have regional offices across the country that work with local specialty crop growers to identify their pest management needs.
