Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly effective against broadleaf weeds in cereal crops. It controls weed growth by mimicking plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual plant death. Commonly applied in wheat and barley fields due to its selectivity and low toxicity to cereal species. Also found in pre- and post-emergent formulations, providing flexibility in application timing. Its stability in soil allows for extended weed control with reduced frequency of application.
