Widely used as a pre-emergent herbicide in agriculture, particularly in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and oats. It effectively controls a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, including chickweed, mayweed, and poppy, by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Applied to the soil before weed seeds germinate, it provides residual control and helps reduce competition for nutrients and water. Its low application rate and long-lasting activity make it a cost-effective choice for integrated weed management programs. Commonly tank-mixed with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of control and prevent the development of resistant weed populations. Suitable for use in both conventional and conservation tillage systems.
