Dichlorprop is widely used as a herbicide in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds in crops such as cereals, grasslands, and turf. It is particularly effective in managing weeds that compete with crops for nutrients, sunlight, and water, thereby enhancing crop yield and quality. In forestry, it is applied to clear unwanted vegetation, promoting the growth of desired tree species. Additionally, it is utilized in non-crop areas like roadsides and industrial sites to maintain weed-free environments. Its selective action allows it to target specific weeds without harming grasses and other non-target plants, making it a valuable tool in integrated weed management systems.
