Used primarily as a herbicide, especially in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, turf, and non-crop areas. It is effective in formulations for selective weed control, where it mimics plant growth hormones, causing uncontrolled growth and eventual death of susceptible plants. Commonly found in lawn care products and brush control treatments. Often used in combination with other phenoxy herbicides for enhanced efficacy. Its application is widespread in both residential and industrial settings due to its relatively low toxicity to mammals and rapid environmental degradation.
