Used as a selective herbicide in rice cultivation, effectively controlling annual broadleaf weeds and sedges. It works by inhibiting cellulose biosynthesis in susceptible plants, leading to growth inhibition and eventual death. Applied pre- or post-emergence, it offers long-lasting weed control with minimal impact on rice crops when used at recommended rates. Its systemic action allows for good translocation within the plant, enhancing efficacy under various field conditions. Commonly formulated in granular or wettable powder forms for ease of application in paddy fields.
