This program tries to find pest management products that are not registered for minor use crops. Also it tries to find replacement pest management tools for old compounds not reregistered. An emphasis is put on reducing resistance management by using compounds with different modes of action. The impact of this program is that it gives minor use growers such as vegetable farmers, nursery and greenhouse operators a mechanism in getting new pest management tools for their crops. This is the best option for minor use crop producers to get new pest management tools to use. The Oklahoma IR-4 program submitted 88 Pesticide Clearance Forms for Oklahoma to the National IR-4 program. Meetings were conducted with Oklahoma Vegetable Association, Ozark Crop Production Association, Oklahoma Watermelon Association, and Caddo County Vegetable Association concerning new needs to submit. Information about the minor use program was presented at the Oklahoma City farm show as well as the
Oklahoma Greenhouse and Nursery industry show. We provided data and support for Section 18's and 24c's on minor crops in Oklahoma. These included in 2004: CheckMite+ - Bee Hive Pest Control, ApiLife - Bee Hive Pest Control, Reflex - Snapbeans, Reflex - Peanuts, Terramaster Fungicide - Greenhouse Tomatoes, Dual Mangum - Spinach, and worked on all section 18 for soybean rust. IR-4 provided funding for two state specialists and the state liaison to travel to the IR-4 Food Use Workshop in Orlando, FL. in September 2004. Also the Oklahoma liaison traveled to the IR-4 Southern Region meeting at Wilmington NC in August, 2004.

Oklahoma continued the contacts with grower and applicator groups for minor crops. In addition, OSU maintained contact with OSU research and extension personnel interested in working with IR-4. Dr. Jonathan Edelson was provided support through NAPIAP to attend the National Food Use Workshop held in Orlando, FL. With NAPIAP support, Dr. Jim Criswell attended the National and Southern Region IR-4 Meetings held in Colorado Springs, CO. Numerous Pesticide Clearance Request forms were completed and provided to the Southern Region IR-4 office. Projects OSU research and extension personnel were willing to work on were presented at the regional meeting. There was concern expressed by Oklahoma and Texas about possible needs in Area VIII due to the lack of university and USDA-ARS personnel in that area. In 1996, the OSU vegetable working group met with growers, processors and Oklahoma Department of Agriculture officials to prioritize research needs for minor crops. These needs
were herbicides on cucurbits with emphasis on watermelons, herbicides and insecticides on processing greens and spinach.

IR-4 projects are primarily identification of willing participants, submitting Pesticide Clearance Request (PCR) forms, and obtaining field projects to benefit Oklahoma and other interested states. Six research/extension personnel were identified as IR-4 participants. Due to no support of ornamental projects in 1993 support for IR-4 ornamental projects evaporated. Four PCR forms were submitted on food crops. Information on mevinphos as it related to IPM in greens (mustard, collard, turnip and kale) and spinach production was provided to EPA and IR-4. Red-Alert notices were sent to extension staff and to major grower groups. IR-4's request for priority rating was conducted with cross reference to PIA's previous work.

Answered 380+ quest ons regarding pesticide education. 26% were certification/recertification, 8% safety, 8% disposal & endangered species. Applying Pesticides Correctly core manual revised; Ag Animal, Ag Plant, Forestry & Ornamental/Turf manuals revision begun in '92. Time series survey of PPE begun. Initial results for Service Technicians (ST) indicate mixing/loading-28% used chemical resistant (cr) coveralls, 48% cr gloves & 33% cloth/leather gloves; spraying-28% used cloth-leather gloves, 50% cr gloves & 33% cr coveralls. ST recertif. was completed in '92; accomplished in cooperation with Okla. Dept. of Agriculture (ODA). In '91 ODA conducted survey of major pesticide associations on topics to be presented for ST recertif. Based on results, 10 programs held statewide covering requested topics were presented by CES/ODA personnel. ODA verified pass rate at recertif. meetings exceeded pass rates at standard test site in Okla. City. OSU-PAE has been working with Stored
Grain IPM program. Stored Grain IPM held a 2 day grain fumigators workshop; hands on/attendees actively using air monitoring tubes, canisters, respirators, gas masks, did fit tests, 2 hr. problem solving session, etc. Discussed problem as to why certain decisions were made & if correct. Received very high comments from attendees/employers. Results indicate increase in placarding, notification, air monitoring & other safety considerations.

IR-4 projects are primarly identification of willing participants, submiting Pesticide Clearance Request (PCR) forms, and obtaining field projects to benefit Oklahoma and other interested states. Eleven research/extension personnel were identified as IR-4 participants. Three researchers were identified for ornamental work. This represents a change due to non-interest since 1980. Twenty-nine PCR forms were submitted on food crops. Red-Alert notices were sent to extension staff & to major grower groups.
