Progress 07/16/03 to 10/31/05
Outputs
1. What major problem or issue is being resolved and how are you resolving it (summarize project aims and objectives)? How serious is the problem? What does it matter? Minor crops lack the availability of pesticides. All fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals are minor use crops. In the IR-4 program, minor use and specialty use pesticide clearances and maintenance of current registrations are obtained through field studies. Efficacy, phytotoxicity and residue data are obtained to help obtain clearances on minor use food and ornamental crops. 2. List the milestones (indicators of progress) from your Project Plan. We expected to complete 8 GLP food use (field residue) trials and 14 ornamental trials. 3a List the milestones that were scheduled to be addressed in FY 2005. For each milestone, indicate the status: fully met, substantially met, or not met. If not met, why. 1. In FY05, 8 GLP food use trials and 14 ornamental trials were completed. Milestone Fully Met 3b List
the milestones that you expect to address over the next 3 years (FY 2006, 2007, and 2008). What do you expect to accomplish, year by year, over the next 3 years under each milestone? Per email from B. Zapp,NPS, this project is being replaced. New number not available yet. 4a What was the single most significant accomplishment this past year? The research was done to support the petitions submitted by IR-4 to EPA for the registration of pesticides on minor crops. Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) field trials were conducted in the Fruit and Vegetable Insect Research Unit at Wapato, WA, on 2 snap bean, 1 dill, 2 carrot, 1 onion, 1 mint, 1 dry bean and results were submitted to IR-4 Headquarters. Results led to the completion of thirteen ornamental trials which included 1 Eupatoreum purpureum, 1 Helleborus niger, 1 Solidago speciosa, 1 Centranthus rubber, 1 Antenaria diodica, 1 Helenuim autumnale, 1 Solidago sphacelata, 1 Artemesia ludoviciana, 1 Echinacea paradoxa, 1 Eupatoreum
maculatum,1 Hellianthus maximilianii, 1 Solidago rugosa, 1 Asclepias tuberosa, and 1 Gomphrena haagenana. The research will result in new registration of pesticides to be available for use in food and ornamental crops. 6. What science and/or technologies have been transferred and to whom? When is the science and/or technology likely to become available to the end- user (industry, farmer, other scientists)? What are the constraints, if known, to the adoption and durability of the technology products? Petitions are made through the IR-4 Project Headquarters to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA approves or disapproves the registration of the pesticide

We expected to complete 10 GLP food use (field residue) trials and 13 ornamental trials. 3. Milestones: A. In FY04, 10 GLP food use trials and 13 ornamental trials were completed. B. It is anticipated in FY05 there will be 15 GLP food use (field residue trials) and 15 ornamental trials accomplished. 4. What were the most significant accomplishments this past
year? The research was done to support the petitions submitted by IR-4 to EPA for the registration of pesticides on minor crops. Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) field trials were conducted in the Fruit and Vegetable Insect Research Unit at Wapato, WA, on 1 asparagus, 1 bean dry, 1 mint, 2 carrot, 2 onion, (dry bulb and green), 1 radish, 2 potato and results were submitted to IR-4 Headquarters. Results led to the completion of thirteen ornamental trials which included 1 chrysanthemum, 1 yarrow, 1 hollyhock, 1 butterfly bush,1 rose periwinkle, 1 batchelor button, 1 tickseed (Coreopsis), 1 coneflower, 1 day lily, 1 lobelia, 1 lupine, 1 azalea (rhododendron),1 black-eyed Susan. The research will result in new registration of pesticides to be available for use in food and ornamental crops. B. None. C. None. D. Progress Report: None. 5. Describe the major accomplishments over the life of the project, including their predicted or actual impact. 2003: Completed 10 Food Use Projects and 13
Ornamental Projects 2002: Completed 7 Food Use Projects and 29 Ornamental Projects 2001: Completed 4 Food Use Projects and 30 Ornamental Projects 2000: Completed 11 Food Use Projects and 12 Ornamental Projects 1999: Completed 10 Food Use Projects and 9 Ornamental Projects 1998: Completed 10 Food Use Projects and 26 Ornamental Projects 1997: Completed 16 Food Use Projects and 9 Ornamental Projects 1996: Completed 9 Food Use Projects and 25 Ornamental Projects 1995: Completed 5 Food Use Projects and 38 Ornamental Projects The completed projects helped support petitions made by IR-4 Headquarters to EPA. 6.
