Widely used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, this solution effectively controls broadleaf weeds in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and oats. It is particularly valued for its ability to target unwanted dicotyledonous plants while leaving monocot crops unharmed. The formulation in acetonitrile enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for use in various spray applications. It is commonly applied during the early growth stages of crops to maximize weed control and improve yield. Due to its systemic action, it is absorbed through leaves and roots and translocated to growth sites, disrupting plant development. This solution is also used in analytical laboratories as a reference standard for residue testing in food and environmental samples.
