Used as a selective herbicide to control grass weeds in broadleaf crops such as wheat, barley, and flax. It is effective against annual and perennial grasses by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme essential for fatty acid synthesis in plants. Applied post-emergence, it is absorbed through leaves and translocated to growing points, leading to growth cessation and plant death. Commonly used in agricultural settings where broad-spectrum grass control is needed without harming the main crop.
