N-[4-(Methylamino)benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid zinc salt is used as a
herbicide for the purpose of controlling and eliminating unwanted plant
growth. It is particularly effective in targeting broadleaf and grassy
weeds in various crops, such as soybeans, corn, and wheat. The
application reason is its ability to disrupt the nitrogen metabolism in
plants, causing their death and thus preventing competition for
resources with the desired crops.
