They are the sixth-highest-grossing crop in the state, which produces 88 percent of the nation's favorite berry. Yet the industry is often criticized for its backbreaking labor conditions and dependence on highly toxic soil fumigants used to control fungal pathogens and other soilborne pests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWilted\u003c\/i\u003e, Julie Guthman tells the story of how the strawberry industry came to rely on soil fumigants, and how that reliance reverberated throughout the rest of the fruit's production system. The particular conditions of plants, soils, chemicals, climate, and laboring bodies that once made strawberry production so lucrative in the Golden State have now changed and become a set of related threats that jeopardize the future of the industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Guthman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520305280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520305281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Julie Guthman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919961653503,"sku":"9780520305281","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6a25204d-c06c-4a1b-8381-531d3ab1bb7d.jpg?v=1680812863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wilted-6-julie-guthman-9780520305281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
