Scientists found that, while in small doses the artificial hormone greatly stimulated plant growth, in large doses it inhibited the plants development.3 During World War II the full military and agricultural applications of these herbicides (and other pesticides, such as the insecticide DDT) were studied in academic institutions in the US and the United Kingdom,4 as well as, infamously, in Nazi concentration camps by the German chemical corporation IG Farben"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a War $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a War (International law) 650 0 $a Environmental law, International. 650 0 $a Liability for environmental damages. 650 0 $a Environmental degradation. 650 0 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on. 650 0 $a Peace $x Environmental aspects. 650 7 $a Environmental degradation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912877 650 7 $a Environmental law, International. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913170 650 7 $a Liability for environmental damages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997106 650 7 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034564 650 7 $a War $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170340 650 7 $a War (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170412 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cusato, Eliana, 1974- $t The ecology of war and peace $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108939812 $w (DLC) 2021015132 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AA630EC8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
