Used as a selective herbicide to control grass weeds in broadleaf crops such as soybeans, cotton, and oilseed rape. It is effective in post-emergence applications, meaning it is applied after the weeds have started growing. The chemical works by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme essential for fatty acid synthesis in grasses, leading to growth cessation and eventual death of the targeted weeds. Due to its selectivity, it minimizes damage to the broadleaf crops while effectively managing grass infestations. Commonly used in agricultural settings where mechanical weeding is impractical or insufficient.
