Used primarily as a selective herbicide in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in crops such as corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, effectively stopping their growth. Applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, it helps maintain crop yield by reducing weed competition. It is also utilized in non-crop areas to manage unwanted vegetation. Proper application ensures minimal impact on the environment and non-target species.
