Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops like corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. It is applied pre-emergence to prevent weed growth by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Its formulation as a solution allows for easy mixing and uniform spraying, making it suitable for large-scale field applications. Effective in low doses, it helps reduce competition for nutrients and water, improving crop yield. Due to its soil activity, it provides residual control but requires careful handling to avoid carryover in rotation crops.
