Used as a pre-emergent herbicide, particularly in cereal crops like wheat and barley to control broadleaf weeds. It is effective against species such as chickweed, mayweed, and poppy. Applied to soil before weeds emerge, it works by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Commonly formulated in tank mixes with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed control. Its residual activity provides extended protection during early crop growth stages. Suitable for use in both conventional and conservation tillage systems.
