IR-4 needs industry input

Survey will help determine pest, disease and weed priorities.

From ANLA's Joe Bischoff

IR-4 is asking nursery and floriculture growers to participate in a brief survey to help identify the highest pest, disease and weed priorities for the next two years.

IR-4 is a federally funded project with efforts dedicated to supporting the specialty crops industry through pursuing research to facilitate the approval of new chemical treatments for our crops. Their work is vital to our industry’s access to chemistries that would not otherwise be available for nursery and floriculture production.
