Used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, particularly in cereal crops like wheat and barley. Controls broadleaf weeds and some grass weeds by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, it provides residual control, reducing the need for multiple applications. Its effectiveness in low doses makes it suitable for integrated weed management programs. Commonly used in regions with temperate climates where cereals are a major crop.
