Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in crops like onions, garlic, and ornamental plants. Effective in pre-emergent and early post-emergent stages, it inhibits root development in germinating weed seeds, reducing competition for nutrients and water. Commonly applied in horticulture and non-crop areas where selective weed control is needed without harming established plants. Its liquid formulation allows for even distribution and ease of mixing with other agrochemicals in spray applications.
