defoliation
(gcide) | defoliation \de*fo`li*a"tion\, n. [LL. defoliare, defoliatum, to
shed leaves; L. de- + folium leaf: cf. F. d['e]foliation.]
The separation of ripened leaves from a branch or stem; the
falling or shedding of the leaves.
[1913 Webster]
2. the act or process of causing plants to lose their leaves,
especially by application of a chemical agent.
Note: The deliberate defoliation of plants has been used in
war (as in Vietnam) to deprive an enemy of cover and
allow attack from the air; also, to destroy
narcotic-producing plants as a tactic against illegal
drug production. The chemical defoliating agents are
often sprayed over large areas from airplanes.
