2024 Research Symposium: Food Crops

About the Event

The annual IR-4 Project Research Symposium: Food Crops was held on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, from 1-4 pm ET. During this virtual event, IR-4 biologists shared research results from Integrated Solutions and Product Performance trials on food crops. Results from these trials are used to identify potential pest management solutions for specialty crops and to support product registrations.
