Roundup is the proprietary name Monsanto gave to the weedkiller they
developed and is generically known as glyphosate, it is a systemic
herbicide.

Agent orange was a name given to the bulk chemical used to defoliate
the DMZ in Vietnam, it was a relatively impure formulation of 245T a
herbicide which mimics plant hormones in broadleaves and causes them
to exhaust themselves by stimulating undue extensions. Although
remaining available in UK 245t is no longer manufactured here to the
best of my knowledge.
