Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly effective against grass weeds in broadleaf crops. It works by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme essential for fatty acid synthesis in plants, leading to growth cessation and death of susceptible weeds. Commonly applied in post-emergence treatments for crops such as soybeans, cotton, and various vegetables where control of grassy weeds is needed without harming the broadleaf crop. Its lithium salt formulation enhances solubility and stability, improving uptake and performance under varying field conditions.
