Used as a selective pre-emergence herbicide in agriculture, particularly in corn, sugarcane, and pineapple crops to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It is applied to soil before weed seeds germinate, preventing weed establishment by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Its solution form allows for easy mixing and uniform application through standard spray equipment. Commonly used in integrated weed management programs where residual control is needed over several weeks.
