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 mode of action and residual activity, it helps reduce manual weeding and improves crop yield. Care is required to avoid drift and damage to non-target plants.
