Herbicides Used in Southeast Asia

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide information on the herbicides used for defoliation, crop control, and other types of vegetation control in military operations in Southeast Asia. Emphasis is given to the aerial application of these agents and the conditions influencing their effective use. Research data from field tests in tropical areas other than the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) are presented for the basic agents in operational use. Lists of terms and of additional candidate agents are presented in appendixes. The report is designed to assist military personnel involved in the field use of defoliants and herbicides.
