Widely used in agriculture, this chemical controls broadleaf and grassy weeds in crops like corn, sugarcane, and sorghum. It is applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence to prevent weed growth by inhibiting photosynthesis. Common in areas with heavy weed pressure, it provides long-lasting soil activity due to its persistence. Often included in tank mixes with other herbicides to broaden weed control spectrum. Its use is restricted in some regions due to concerns about groundwater contamination and environmental impact.
