Methyl Bromide Bill Sent To Governor
The Assembly sent to the governor Thursday March 7th, a bill
extending until Dec. 31, 1997, a March 30 deadline for the use of the fumigant
methyl bromide. Governor Pete Wilson said he would sign the bill.
Methyl bromide is pumped into the ground before more than 60 crops are planted
to rid the soil of worms that destroy roots. It is also used to fumigate
shipping warehouses to prevent pests from traveling in or out of the state.
