Agent Green

A popular term for one of the multicoloured herbecide defoliants used during the Vietnam War, so named for the green stripes painted on the outside of the barrels. Only 20,000 gallons of Agent Green were used from 1962 to 1964, compared to 20,000,000 gallons of Agent Orange. Agent Green only had one active ingredient, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) and significant amounts of dioxin, which were a contaminant that occurred during 2,4,5-T’s manufacture.

Improbable Frequency
"Agent Green" is a phrase currently used to refer to at least two different fungi, called "mycoherbicides." The United States government wants to use these fungi in its "War on Drugs." What they have in common is that they are both being promoted by the US-led United Nations Drug Control Program (UNDCP) as part of a global plan for the eradication of illicit crops.
The first Agent Green fungus is Fusarium oxysporum, a family of "wilting" fungi whose species attack everything from corn and cotton to basil to watermelon.
