Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly in rice paddies and cereal crops. It controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds and sedges by inhibiting plant growth through disruption of cell division and root development. Effective at low application rates, it is often applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence to maximize weed control while minimizing impact on the crop. Its formulation as a solution allows for easy mixing and uniform spraying. Commonly used in integrated weed management programs where resistance to other herbicides has developed.
