Propanil solution is widely used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly in rice farming. It effectively controls broadleaf weeds and grasses during the early growth stages of rice crops. The solution formulation allows for easy mixing and application through standard spraying equipment, ensuring uniform coverage in paddy fields. Propanil works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target weeds, leading to rapid plant death while minimizing damage to the rice plants when applied correctly. Due to its selective action and relatively short environmental half-life, it is favored in integrated weed management programs. It is often used in rotation with other herbicides to reduce the risk of weed resistance development.
