Used as a herbicide in agriculture, particularly in cereal crops like wheat and barley. It controls a broad spectrum of grass and broadleaf weeds by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme essential for amino acid synthesis in plants. Effective at low application rates, it allows for selective weed control with minimal impact on the crop. Often formulated in combination with other herbicides to enhance weed control spectrum and reduce the risk of resistance development. Its systemic action ensures thorough plant uptake and translocation, leading to reliable performance under various environmental conditions.
