Pest Management Solutions for Specialty Crops and Specialty Uses
Greetings!

During August, we continued preparations for establishing food crop research priorities at the first ever IR-4 Virtual Workshop. Register here, if you haven't yet!

The registration of acequinocyl to manage mites on blueberries was in the spotlight, and EPA granted residue tolerances for two actives: flupyradifurone and novaluron. For environmental horticulture crops, the Fusarium Literature Review & Efficacy Summary was updated for recent research data.

Links to these recent successes for the Food and Environmental Horticulture Programs are below.
