The IR-4 Project

The IR-4 Project is a longstanding champion in the agricultural industry, with a mission to provide pest management solutions for specialty crops and specialty uses. With a rich history dating back to 1963, the project has consistently supported the specialty crop community. By collaborating closely with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the registration of sustainable pest management products and technologies, The IR-4 Project facilitates access to safe and effective crop protection products for growers. The organization's emphasis on ensuring healthy and plentiful specialty crop harvests underscores its dedication to public welfare.

Headquartered at NC State University, The IR-4 Project operates through regional offices situated across the country. This network of offices collaborates with local specialty crop growers to discern and address their specific pest management requirements. As a result, the project plays a crucial role in advocating for and promoting sustainable practices within the agricultural sector.
