FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — The maker of the controversial pesticide methyl iodide, used primarily to fumigate strawberries, has agreed to remove all of its products from the U.S. market and end sales permanently.

The U.S. EPA announced Wednesday that Arysta had requested voluntarily cancellation of all of the company’s product registrations, which means that the suspected carcinogen will no longer be used in this country by the end of the year.
