| Perlite for Use as a
Substitute for Methyl Bromide Worldwide,
methyl bromide is used primarily as a soil fumigant to eliminate soilborne pathogens and
to control weeds. Since methyl bromide will no longer be available to U.S. growers after
2005, scientists are persistently seeking alternatives to this chemical that has been so
widely used for decades.
