This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides. It plays a crucial role in the production of triazine-based herbicides, which are widely applied in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in crops like corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. Its structural properties make it effective in inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, ensuring crop protection and improved yield. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for creating new agrochemical formulations with enhanced efficacy and environmental safety.
