Used as a selective herbicide to control grass weeds in broadleaf crops such as soybeans, cotton, and oilseed crops. It is effective in post-emergence applications, meaning it is applied after the weeds have started growing. It works by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme essential for fatty acid synthesis in grasses, leading to growth cessation and plant death. Due to its selectivity, it does not harm most broadleaf plants, making it suitable for use in a variety of row crops. Commonly used in both agricultural and non-crop settings where grass-specific weed control is needed.
