Used primarily as a herbicide to control weeds and grasses in agricultural settings. It is applied to crops such as cotton, soybeans, and corn to ensure higher yields by eliminating competing vegetation. Also employed in non-crop areas like roadsides and industrial sites for vegetation management. Its fast-acting nature makes it effective for desiccation purposes, aiding in crop drying before harvest. However, strict handling and application protocols are required due to its high toxicity to humans and animals.
