Used as a selective herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops like wheat, barley, and oats. It is effective in pre- and post-emergence applications, particularly in controlling weeds such as chickweed, mustard, and lambsquarters. Commonly applied in agriculture via foliar spray, it works by disrupting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Also found in some formulations for non-crop areas and industrial vegetation management. Its use is regulated due to potential environmental toxicity, especially to aquatic life.
