Used as a potent herbicide, particularly effective in controlling broadleaf weeds and grasses in agricultural settings. It is commonly applied in pre-emergent treatments to prevent weed growth in crops such as corn, soybeans, and cereals. The compound inhibits seedling root and shoot development by disrupting cell division in meristematic tissues. Due to its stability in soil and targeted mode of action, it provides long-lasting weed control with relatively low application rates. It is favored in integrated weed management programs where resistance to other herbicide classes has developed.
