Used as a selective herbicide in rice cultivation, effectively controlling broadleaf weeds and sedges. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is essential for amino acid synthesis in plants. Applied pre- or post-emergence, it provides long-lasting weed control with low application rates. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed through roots and foliage, making it suitable for both water-seeded and direct-seeded rice systems. Shows good crop safety when used at recommended doses and is compatible with integrated weed management practices.
