Description

Butyl (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetate is a biocide that belongs to the group of growth regulators. It is used as a herbicide and has been shown to inhibit plant growth. Butyl (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetate is also an agent in Agent Orange, which was used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War to clear forests and destroy crops. The biocide has been found in significant quantities in soil and water samples from tropical regions where it can be found at concentrations up to 10 times greater than those found in temperate regions. Butyl (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetate has been shown to be effective against sensitive bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae but not against resistant strains such as Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli.
