On February 5 – 9, 2024, the Minor Use Foundation will bring together growers, regulators, researchers, and crop protection professionals in Madrid, Spain for the fourth Global Minor Use Summit (GMUS-4). The Summit will provide technical guidance and key information to minor use growers and other stakeholders grappling with increasingly complex issues surrounding pesticide regulation. Participants will engage in the discussion of global challenges and solutions. They will also have the opportunity to seek assistance with emerging issues affecting specialty crop production in their countries and lay the groundwork for future research collaborations.
