Methyl bromide is a soil fumigant,

Methyl bromide is a soil fumigant, commonly used on fruits and vegetables to controlsoil-borne pests. It is also a Class I ozone depleter. Recent scientific evidence suggests thatmethyl bromide is 60 times more effective than CFCs at detroying ozone. The U.S. isunilaterally phasing out its production and use of methyl bromide by January 1, 2001.Mexico also uses methyl bromide production on horticultural crops, particularly in BajaCalifornia. As a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, it is presumably following the agreementthat use will be frozen in 2002 and there will be a complete phase out by 2010.
