Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly in rice paddies, to control broadleaf weeds and sedges. Effective in both pre- and post-emergence applications, it helps maintain crop yield by reducing weed competition. Commonly applied in flooded field conditions where it remains stable and active. Its formulation as a solution allows for easy mixing and spraying, making it suitable for use with standard agricultural sprayers. Often part of integrated weed management programs in rice cultivation across Asia.
