I think we're all very hopeful that a long-term solution will be possible—hopefully within the three months—but are there any other kinds of options aside from the methyl bromide? I know that Canada and India have signed the Montreal protocol, and we're all trying to phase out the use of these pesticides. Are there any other options? I read somewhere that if you soak pulses in water at a temperature of 110 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit within formalin for an hour, it can kill certain things. Is that correct?
