Agents Blue and White were part of the same program but did not contain dioxins. The earliest form of the compound triiodobenzoic acid was studied by Arthur Galston as a plant growth hormone. The research was motivated by the desire to adapt soybeans for short growing season. Arthur Galston is widely known for the social impact his work had on science. This defoliant was modeled after Galstons discovery of triiodobenzoic acid in 1943. Galston was especially concerned about the compounds side effects to humans and the environment. Galston found that excessive usage of the compound caused catastrophic defoliation – a finding used by …
