1 Overview of IR-4 Biopesticide Research and Support Program Presented to: IR-4/EPA/PMRA/CA-DPR Biopesticide Registration Workshop November 13, 2001 Robert Holm, Ph.D. Executive Director

2 IR-4 Milestones! 1963! 1975! 1976! 1977! 1982! 1989 Initiated by the Directors of State Agricultural Experiment Stations working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture- Cooperative States Research Service. Regional Leader Laboratories- established to provide regional coordination and analytical services. USDA-ARS established minor use program Expanded to cover nursery and floral crops, forest seedlings, turfgrass, Christmas trees, and woody nursery stock Expanded to cover registration of Biological Pest Control Agents Established a GLP program

3 IR-4 Milestones! 1993! 1995! 1997! 2000 Initiated Quality Assurance Unit with SOP s and GLP guidelines and training Updated Strategic Plan to focus on Reduced Risk Products and Biopesticides (dedicated research funds) Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) Reduced Risk Strategy Promote the registration of Reduced Risk products Expand biopesticide programs Revised Strategic Plan to focus on Accelerate Reduced Risk chemistry registration Gaining access to new chemistries and biopesticides

4 Biopesticide Program IR-4 Strategy! Initiated in 1982! Focused mainly on support for registrants from ! Designated funding for research projects since 1995 ($1,795,000 in total)! Early Stage Projects for $300,000! Early Stage Projects for $194, Advanced Stage Projects for $111,000! Early Stage Projects for $102, Advanced Stage Projects for $201,282

5 Biopesticide Program IR-4 Strategy! 2000 Biopesticide Workshop co-sponsored by IR-4, PMRA and BPPA.!
