Used as a selective herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in agricultural and non-cultivated areas. It is effective in managing unwanted vegetation in turfgrass, pastures, and roadside maintenance. The compound works by mimicking plant growth hormones, causing uncontrolled growth and eventual death of susceptible plants. Due to its systemic action, it is absorbed through leaves and translocated to roots, providing long-lasting control. Commonly applied in ready-to-use sprays or diluted concentrates, it is favored for its quick degradation in the environment and low toxicity to animals when used as directed.
