California regulates agricultural pesticides more strictly in most instances than does the federal government.  As methyl bromide is phased out due to its environmental damage worldwide, there is a battle in California over allowing methyl bromide to be replaced by another toxic fumigant for strawberries and other labor-intensive crops, methyl idodide, reports the Los Angeles Times.  For more information on pesticides and farmworkers, visit our website page.  We also have links to other organizations' websites regarding pesticides.
