2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid
2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s and was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting in the late 1970s due to toxicity concerns.
