Voice Your Needs: Important Dates and Workshop Prep
In preparation for the 2025 Environmental Horticulture Workshop, we welcome stakeholders to complete our Grower & Extension Survey as well as to submit Project Clearance Requests. The deadline to submit both items is Friday, August 29, 2025.
The Grower & Extension Survey is the best way to tell us which pest problems you have difficulty managing due to insufficient tools. Your input helps shape discussions at the Workshop and helps our team understand the needs of growers in this vital sector. As of fall 2024, we have transitioned the survey to a Google form. You may fill out and submit the form here. It can also be found via the Grower Needs page.
Please complete the Project Clearance Request Form if you have a specific product in mind that you would like IR-4 to evaluate to potentially address a pest problem impacting you or your grower community. Find and submit the Project Request form on the Grower Needs page.
Thank you for your input!
