Used primarily as a selective herbicide in agriculture, it effectively controls annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in rice fields. Applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, it inhibits weed growth by disrupting cell division. Farmers often use it to enhance crop yields by minimizing competition for nutrients and resources. It is also employed in other crops like maize, soybean, and sugarcane, depending on regional agricultural practices. Proper application and dosage are crucial to avoid environmental impact and ensure crop safety.
