Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly in beet crops to control broadleaf weeds and some grasses. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants, leading to their death. Applied pre- and post-emergence, it is effective at low concentrations and is often combined with other herbicides for broader weed control. Due to its systemic action, it is absorbed through leaves and roots, providing flexible application methods. Care is required to avoid drift and damage to non-target crops.
