Used primarily as a selective herbicide in sugar beet cultivation, controlling broadleaf weeds and some grass species. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, leading to their gradual desiccation and death. Applied pre- or post-emergence, it is especially effective during early crop growth stages. Its residual activity provides extended weed control, improving crop yield and reducing manual or mechanical weeding needs. Due to its specific mode of action, it is often included in resistance management strategies, rotated with herbicides from different chemical classes.
