Our Process:
The Four Steps of IR-4.
Ornamental Horticulture Program:The Four Steps of IR-4
• Step 1: Identify grower needs
• Step 2: Establish research priorities
• Step 3: Establish research program
• Step 4: Communicate research results
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 1: Identify Grower Needs
Grower & Extension Survey Project Requests
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 2: Establish Research Priorities
• Biennial Workshop– October 6-8, 2009 in Cleveland, OH
– Plant Growth Regulator Society Meeting
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 2: Establish Research Priorities
Discuss majorpathogen, pest, weed, pgr issues
High Priority Projects
A = not registeredB = registered but not commercializedC = registered and commercialized
Decide
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 2: Establish Research Priorities
• Midcycle Review of Priorities– NCSU Ornamental Workshop– NEWSS– Plant Growth Regulator Society Meeting
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 2: Establish Research Priorities
2009 High Priority Projects– Continue Downy Mildew– Continue Bacteria– Continue Borers– Continue Armored Scale– Explore Snails– Explore Root Mealybugs– Herbicide Crop Safety– Early Post Emergence
2010 High Priority Projects– Continue Bacteria– Pythium Efficacy– Continue Scale & Mealybug– Continue Thrips
• Crop Safety• Beneficials
– Mite Efficacy– Herbicide Crop Safety– Early Post Emergence– Liverwort Efficacy
Ornamental Horticulture Program:Step 3: Establish Research Program
• Coordinated approach based on High Priority Projects
• Additional focus on invasive species− Phytophthora ramorum− Chili thrips− Bemisia Q biotype− Japanese beetle− Gladiolus rust

Our Success:
219 permanent pesticide tolerances with potential for 952 new use registrations.
6 registrations impacting 614 ornamental horticulture crops.
7 crops added to biopesticide labels and 1 Section 18.
Highlights of Program Activities2005-2010
High Priority Project: Thrips• Thrips Efficacy became a high priority project
in 2005.
Western Flower Thrips
Weeping Laurel Thrips
Chili Thrips
Thrips simplex on Gladiolus
T. Davis, MSU
L. Osborne, UFL
•Chili thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis) was added in 2006.
IR-4 Research Program for Thrips (2005-2009)
• IR-4 sponsored 328 trials in 29 experiments from 2005 through 2009 looking at 56 different products on 4 different thrips species– IR-4 definition: trial is unique combination of crop, pest, product,
production site– Caveat: not all products were tested on all thrips

Western Flower Thrips
Chili Thrips
L. Osborne, UFL
Gladiolus Thrips (Thrips simplex)
• All but 2 of the 24 products tested as bulb dip applications worked well.
• Orthene TTO (acephate) 24(c) registration in MI for bulb dip application
T. Davis, MSU
Thrips Product Registrations in 2008
• Overture (pyridalyl) was registered with EPA in April
• Conserve (spinosad) was amended to include Chili thrips in August
• Kontos (spirotetramat) was registered with EPA in August
• Tolfenpyrad received reduced risk status for ornamental horticulture uses
High Priority Project: Phytophthora
• Phytophthora Efficacy was established as a high priority project starting with the 2003 IR-4 Workshop
• Limited testing the first year• Phytophthora diseases remain a major concern, but
as of 2008 IR-4 had tested the available new active ingredients for this set of pathogens– P. ramorum
IR-4 Research Program for Phytophthora(2004-2009)
• IR-4 sponsored 799 trials in 68 experiments from 2004 through 2009 looking at 54 different products on 10 different species– IR-4 definition: trial is unique combination of crop, pathogen,
product, production site

Phytophthora Conclusions
• Every Phytophthora and crop combination are different
• Not every product will work equally as well for all Phytophthora species
• If you have difficulties managing Phytophthora,– Get help– Get it identified– Rotate to different products
Phytophthora Product Registrations
• Adorn (fluopicolide)
• Fenstop (fenamidone)
• Insignia (pyraclostrobin)
• Pageant (boscalid + pyraclostrobin)
• Segway (cyzofamid)
• Stature SC (dimethomorph)
High Priority Project: Herbicide Crop Safety
• Herbicide Crop Safety has been an ongoing high priority projects, but each year the targeted products change
IR-4 Research Program for Herbicide Crop Safety (2003-2009)
• IR-4 sponsored 3823 trials with 43 researchers from 2003 to 2009 looking at 58 different products on 387 different crops
