Used as a fast-acting non-selective herbicide, effectively controlling a wide range of annual weeds and grasses in agricultural and non-crop areas. Commonly applied for desiccation of crops like potatoes before harvest, helping to dry foliage and promote uniform skin set. Also utilized in aquatic environments to manage invasive weeds due to its ability to work on submersed and emergent plant species. Acts by disrupting photosynthesis, leading to rapid plant tissue destruction. Frequently chosen for pre-harvest weed control and in no-till farming systems to clear vegetation before planting. Its quick degradation in soil makes it suitable for use in rotation systems where minimal residual activity is desired.
