Used primarily as a herbicide, it effectively controls broadleaf weeds in various agricultural settings, including crops like wheat, corn, and rice. It is applied to foliage, where it disrupts plant growth by mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of the weeds. Additionally, it finds use in forestry management to clear unwanted vegetation, promoting the growth of desired tree species. In some cases, it is employed in non-agricultural areas such as roadsides and industrial sites to maintain clear and weed-free environments. Proper application is crucial to minimize environmental impact and ensure targeted weed control.
