Used as a selective herbicide, primarily to control broadleaf weeds in legume crops such as peas, lentils, and soybeans. It is effective against a range of annual and perennial weeds, including species resistant to other herbicides. Applied pre- or post-emergence, it works by inhibiting the growth of susceptible plants through disruption of cell division and elongation. Its selectivity allows it to target weeds without significantly harming the crop when used at recommended rates. Commonly used in agricultural settings where weed pressure is high and crop rotation includes sensitive broadleaf crops.
