Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling broadleaf weeds in crops like cereals, corn, and small grains. It is effective when applied post-emergence and works by disrupting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Due to its selectivity, it leaves the main crops unharmed when used at recommended doses. Commonly formulated with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed control and manage resistance development. It is especially useful in no-till farming systems where weed pressure is high.
