Used as a broad-spectrum herbicide, effective in controlling a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf species. Commonly applied in non-crop areas such as industrial sites, roadsides, and utility corridors. Also used in forestry for site preparation and vegetation management to favor the growth of certain tree species. Applied in aquatic environments to manage invasive aquatic plants due to its systemic action and soil residual activity. Often used in combination with other herbicides or as a spot treatment in integrated vegetation management programs. Its long soil persistence makes it suitable for sustained control but requires careful planning to avoid damage to desirable vegetation.
