Agent Orange: mixture of herbicides used [as a defoliant during the Vietnam War] ... consisted of approximately equal amounts of the unpurified butyl esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). Agent Orange also contained small, variable proportions of 2,4,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (commonly called "dioxin"), which is a by-product of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T. 6, record 1, English, - %282%2C4%2C5%2Dtrichlorophenoxy%29acetic%20acid

La phytohormone herbicide est un produit de synthèse proche chimiquement de la phytohormone naturelle (auxine) qui prend place dans la plante et s'y maintient plus longtemps. Elle provoque ainsi dans le végétal des troubles physiologiques et entraîne des modifications morphologiques diverses (malformation des organes en croissance, épanouissement de la tige, etc.) dont résultent le flétrissement et la mort des plantes après deux à quatre semaines. 3, record 2, French, - herbicide%20du%20type%20ph%C3%A9noxy

«hormone» : D'après la Banque des Mots et le CILF, le terme "hormone" a été improprement employé pour désigner les herbicides tels que le 2,4-D et le MCPA, qui agissent physiologiquement comme des substances de croissance; l'usage du terme "hormone" est néanmoins très solidement implanté dans le monde agricole. 7, record 2, French, - herbicide%20du%20type%20ph%C3%A9noxy
