The objective of the Biopesticide Regulatory Support Program is to further the development and registration of biopesticides for use in pest management systems on specialty crops, or for specialty uses on major crops.
IR-4 provides regulatory assistance to public sector scientists and small businesses navigating the EPA registration process.
Biopesticides include microorganisms, plant extracts, natural products and biotechnology.

Regulatory Assistance
If you are from the public sector (USDA, universities, etc.) or small companies, IR-4 can assist you with registering new active ingredients for biopesticides.
Here’s how we can help:
- Arranging meetings with EPA
- Writing data waiver scientific justification
- Formatting documents
- Government forms
- Label modification
- Communication and negotiation
- Guideline study review (product chemistry, human health, non-target guidelines, etc.)
