Agent Orange, a defoliant used by the British in the Malayan Emergency and the U.S. in the Vietnam War, was equal parts 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). 2,4,5-T itself is toxic with a NOAEL of 3 mg/kg/day and a LOAEL of 10 mg/kg/day. [3] Agent Pink contained 100% 2,4,5-T (dioxin contaminates included).
This is a list of herbicides. These are chemical compounds which have been registered as herbicides . The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [ 1 ]
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula Cl 2 C 6 H 3 OCH 2 CO 2 H.It is usually referred to by its ISO common name 2,4-D. [4] It is a systemic herbicide that kills most broadleaf weeds by causing uncontrolled growth, but most grasses such as cereals, lawn turf, and grassland are relatively unaffected.

The triketone herbicides were found to be effective on a wide range of commercially-important weed species and to have both pre- and post-emergence activity. [9] Mesotrione was chosen for development (by Zeneca Agrochemicals under the code number ZA1296) because it controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds that compete with maize and can also suppress some annual grass weeds that may be ...

Only 0.3% after 24 hours and 7.2% after 48 hours was accounted for by faecal elimination. Maximum blood drug concentration was achieved after 2 hours. After 48 hours, there was no detectable radioactivity in the blood, and the average half-life was 3.6 hours. Altogether, the metabolic fate of triazofos in dogs was similar to that in rats. [8]
