How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Dissemination Information about current and potential pesticides for use in Utah specialty crops is provided to extension specialist for distribution to specific commodity groups within Utah. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Plan of Work Under a renewal of the project, I plan to do the following: 1. The Food Program Identify priorities and needs of Utah specialty crops producers through communication with specialist and ensuring product requests are submitted in support of needed product uses. 2. The Ornamental Horticulture Program Continue to work with specialist in processing product requests to ensure Utah priorities are represented. 3. The Biopesticide and Organic Support Program Work with pest management specialists to submit product requests in support of Utah priorities and needs for biopesticides and organic products. 4. Cooperative Public Health Pesticide Registration Support Program Identify and communicate Utah public health pesticide registration needs by interacting with specialists and facilitating submission of product requests.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Accomplishments 1. The Food Program During 2015 over 49 product requests were processed and those with potential application to Utah were forwarded to pest management specialists so they could add a request for that product if it was needed in Utah. At least four requests were filed to add Utah to the list of States interested in the proposed pesticide/crop use. Crops with need for additional pest management options included pepper, squash, cantaloupe, and cucumber. The Western IR-4 program had 188 food use pesticide tolerance trials and 18 food use efficacy trials. Through the IR-4 program there have been 175 food use pesticide tolerance requests from Utah with 33 products having current registrations, and the other request at various stages of consideration. These requests represent many Utah crops including alfalfa seed, apple, barley, cherry, caneberry, mint, pear, peach, onion, safflower, and others. 2. The Ornamental Horticulture Program Western IR-4 initiated 154 ornamental trials of which 52 were completed in 2015. 3. The Biopesticide and Organic Support Program The Western IR-4 initiated 8 biopesticide trials in 2015. 4. Cooperative Public Health Pesticide Registration Support Program Attended the annual Western IR-4 Meeting for State Liaison Representatives and Commodity Liaison Committee held in Portland, Oregon to discuss IR-4 priorities.

Target Audience: IR-4 is a government and land-grant university sponsored program to develop the data necessary for submitting minor crop pest control options to the EPA for approval. Through the years IR-4's mission has expanded to include ornamentals and biopesticides (including microbials like bacteria and viruses, and biochemicals like pheromones and growth regulators), but the goal has remained the same: IR-4 works with farmers, agricultural scientists, commodity organizations, and extension personnel to provide pest management solutions to growers of minor crops. Changes/Problems:

What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Develop information on minor use needs; update lists of state and regional priorities with regional staff, headquarters, growers, and commodity representatives; assist in implementing field work and residue studies by identifying appropriate qualified cooperators; keep informed of IR-4 activities to better coordinate state and federal research personnel working on minor use projects; assist the Quality Assurance Unit personnel in conducting Good Laboratory Practices reviews and inspections.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
More than 35 minor food crops and a large variety of nursery and landscape crops are grown in Utah. The total value of Utah minor crops is $98 million. This program has helped in securing clearances for registration of certain pesticide uses on these Utah crops: alfalfa, apple, apricot, asparagus, bean (dry), broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, caneberry, canola, cantaloupe, carrot, cauliflower, cherry (sweet), cherry (tart), clover, field corn, honey and beeswax, honeydew melons, lettuce, onion (dry), pasture grass, peach, pear, plum, potato, pumpkin, rangegrass, raspberry, safflower, snap bean, spinach, squash (winter/summer), sweet corn, tomato and watermelon. Potential economic losses of $11,900,000 are estimated without this program. It is important to secure minor use registrations for agricultural producers for legal reasons and also to increase grower productivity and profitability. These additional registrations help maintain a high quality and varied supply of food, feed, and fiber and help to manage cases of pest resistance.

This program works with farmers, agricultural scientists, commodity organizations, and extension personnel to provide pest management solutions to growers of minor crops. By law, any use of a pesticide must be stated on the label or allowed for by regulation. Each label use instruction must be registered by the EPA. The registration requires proof that the pesticide use poses no undue hazard when applied as instructed. Registration data costs for most pesticide uses are paid by the pesticide manufacturers who expect to sell enough product to return a profit. Many uses for pesticides, however, are on such a small scale that their registration costs are greater than any possible return to the manufacturer. Even these small or minor uses require registration to protect the applicator from a possible fine or crop residue problem.

Progress 01/01/01 to 12/31/01
Outputs
More than 35 minor food crops and a large variety of nursery and landscape crops are grown in Utah. The total value of Utah minor crops is $82 million and represents 45% of the value of all crops grown in Utah. This program has helped in securing clearances for registration of certain pesticide uses on these Utah crops: alfalfa, apple, apricot, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet and tart cherry, field corn, cucumber, dry bean, dry onion, peach, plum, potato, pumpkin, raspberry, safflower, snap bean, winter and summer squash, sweet corn, tomato and watermelon. By law, any use of a pesticide must be stated on the label or allowed for by regulation. Each label use instruction must be registered by the EPA. The registration requires proof that the pesticide use poses no undue hazard when applied as instructed. Registration data costs for most pesticide uses are paid by the pesticide manufacturers who expect to sell enough product to return a profit. Many uses for pesticides,
however, are on such a small scale that their registration costs are greater than any possible return to the manufacturer. Even these small or minor uses require registration to protect the applicator from a possible fine.
Impacts
The securing of pesticide registrations for minor crops increases grower yields and productivity while helping provide a varied and nutritious selection of foods for consumers.

Progress 01/01/94 to 12/30/94
Outputs
By law, any use of a pesticide or drug must be stated on the label or allowed for by regulation. Each label instruction must be registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The registration requires proof that the pesticide or drug poses no undue hazard when used as instructed. Research and development costs for the registration of most pesticide and drug users are paid by the pesticide and drug manufacturers who expect to sell enough product for those uses to return a profit. Many uses for pesticides and drugs, however, are on such a small scale that their research and development costs are greater than any possible return to the manufacturer. In some cases, the use is essential for efficient crop or animal production. Even these small or minor uses require registration to protect the user from a possible fine. This program has been set up to aid in securing these registrations. ===.
