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 and shoot development in susceptible weeds. Commonly applied in horticultural settings where mechanical weeding is difficult. Its systemic action allows for residual control, reducing the need for frequent reapplication. Often favored in integrated weed management programs due to its targeted activity and compatibility with certain crop rotation systems.
