It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

I would like to thank Dr. Dotray for his guidance and direction in the preparation of this thesis; Dr. Keeling for his instruction and support in monitoring these experiments; Dr. Gannaway for his knowledge and assistance in the biotechnology and breeding associated with this project; and Dr. Thompson for her friendship and support in making career decisions. Without all of their guidance, I could never have achieved the goals that we set. I wish to thank all of my fellow graduate students in Weed Science for their help in completing this project. I would especially like to thank Alan Helm for his endless help collecting all of the first year data, Ginger Light for her help in clarifying concepts, and LeAnna Lyon for her help with the last year's project. Their support, friendship, and help on this project have been immeasurable. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to AgrEvo and TxCot for their funding of this research. My thanks also go to the people at the USDA-ARS in Lubbock for all of their help before and after I became involved with this research.

Throughout, it is clear that the path of agriculture begins with the seed. Over the past 40 years, the U.S. has led a radical shift toward commercialization, consolidation, and control of seed. Prior to the advent of industrial agriculture, there were thousands of seed companies and public breeding institutions.

Published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organization World Health Orgnization Geneva, 1984 The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) is a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organization. The main objective of the IPCS is to carry out and disseminate evaluations of the effects of chemicals on human health and the quality of the environment. Supporting activities include the development of epidemiological, experimental laboratory, and risk-assessment methods that could produce internationally comparable results, and the development of manpower in the field of toxicology.

  • The United States' Chemical Defoliant Use During the Vietnam War and Its
    ABSTRACT OATSVALL, NEIL SHAFER. War on Nature, War on Bodies: The United States’ Chemical Defoliant Use During the Vietnam War and Its Consequences. (Under the direction of Matthew Morse Booker.) During most of the Vietnam War, from 1961-1971, the United States military sprayed chemical defoliants on a significant part of the Vietnamese environment in order to gain a military advantage. US forces used these chemicals in an attempt to substitute technology and financial resources for manpower to triumph over a relatively technologically deficient enemy. This effort, dubbed “Operation Ranch Hand,” wrought incredible destruction not only on Vietnam’s natural setting, but also on everyone involved; Vietnamese and American, civilian and soldier. This work examines the consequences of defoliation, and aims to show that those outcomes proved more severe in both scale and efficacy than any anticipated results. It differs from previous studies by combining environmental, military, medical, and cultural factors and considering them as interrelated. Whenever possible this study also tries to bring in a Vietnamese perspective, though that is often impossible due to a lack of available evidence in English. In this war, the United States treated not only the Vietnamese Communists as enemies but also assaulted the natural environment as foe. The interconnections forged during this complicated interpretation of nature and enemy are essential to the study of Operation Ranch Hand and chemical defoliation operations. Nature mattered to both sides, and an

Bureau of Land Management Reno, Nevada Diquat Ecological Risk Assessment Final Report November 2005 Bureau of Land Management Contract No. NAD010156 ENSR Document Number 09090-020-650 Executive Summary The United States Department of the Interior (USDI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing a program to treat vegetation on up to six million acres of public lands annually in 17 western states in the continental United States (US) and Alaska. As part of this program, the BLM is proposing the use of ten herbicide active ingredients (a.i.) to control invasive plants and noxious weeds on approximately one million of the 6 million acres proposed for treatment. The BLM and its contractor, ENSR, are preparing a Vegetation Treatments Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate this and other proposed vegetation treatment methods and alternatives on lands managed by the BLM in the western continental US and Alaska.

Young Department of the Air Force School of Air and Space Medicine SAM/EK Brooks AFB, Texas 78235 Dear Major Young: Enclosed are three reports which have been published as a series and are intended to serve as a comprehensive reference on the subject of dioxins. Volume I is a state-of-the-art review of dioxin literature. De- tailed information is presented on the chemistry, sources, degrada- tion, transport, disposal, and health effects of dioxins. Accounts of public and occupational exposure to dioxins are also included. Volume II details the development of an analytical method for detecting part- per-trillion levels of dioxins in industrial wastes. While this report represents the current developments within the EPA (IERL-CI), there are further advancements that have been made by independent laboratories. This report includes a review of the analytical literature on methods of detecting dioxins in various types of environmental samples. Volume III identifies various routes of information of dioxins.
