Widely used as a selective herbicide, it targets broadleaf weeds without harming grasses and cereal crops. Commonly applied in agriculture, lawns, and turf management, it controls unwanted plants in wheat, corn, and rice fields. Also found in brush and weed killers for roadside and industrial land maintenance. Its ability to mimic plant growth hormones causes uncontrolled growth in susceptible plants, leading to their death. Frequently used in formulations either alone or mixed with other herbicides for enhanced effectiveness.
