USDA IR-4 Biopesticide Grant Program
In 2004, EPA entered into an inter-agency agreement with USDA’s Interregional Research Project #4 (IR-4) to administer a competitive grants program to fund field demonstrations of biopesticides used within IPM systems. The goal is to reduce barriers to increased adoption of biopesticides nationally by funding field demonstrations of effective biopesticides. The field demonstrations are intended to increase awareness of effective options for integrating biologically-based technologies into existing crop products systems and to promote the use of novel combinations of biopesticides to enhance product performance.
