Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops such as potatoes, sugar beets, and vegetables. Effective in pre-emergence and early post-emergence applications, it inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants by targeting the photosystem II complex. Its application helps reduce weed competition, improving crop yield and quality. Due to its soil mobility, it is sometimes used in areas with specific weed pressure but requires careful management to avoid leaching into groundwater.
