Used primarily as a selective herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in crops such as cereals, corn, and rice. It is effective in managing unwanted vegetation in agricultural settings without harming grass-type plants. Commonly applied in pre- and post-emergence treatments, it works by disrupting plant growth hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of susceptible weeds. Also found in brush and bramble control products for non-crop areas like roadsides and fences. Its selectivity and efficiency make it a common component in lawn care and turf management formulations.
