Herbicidal warfare is a form of chemical warfare in which the objective is to destroy the plant-based ecosystem of an area. Its purpose is to disrupt agricultural food production and/or to destroy plants which provide cover or concealment to an enemy. Herbicidal warfare is now forbidden by the Environmental Modification Convention, which bans "any technique for changing the composition or structure of the Earth's biota".

Saying all things were well;
And softly make a rosy peace,
A peace of Heaven with Hell.”
