and postharvest pests.

The program focuses on integrated commercial-scale research on methyl bromide alternatives and associated extension activity that will foster the adoption of these solutions.

Research projects must address commodities with critical issues and include a focused economic analysis of the cost of implementing the transition on a commercial scale.
