Used primarily as a miticide in agriculture, especially in fruit orchards and vineyards. It controls mite populations, including spider mites, by disrupting their development and reproduction, acting as an ovicide and larvicide. Commonly applied during the growing season to protect crops like apples, pears, grapes, citrus, and some vegetables from mite infestations that can damage foliage and reduce yields. Its selective action minimizes impact on beneficial insects, helping maintain plant health and supports higher quality fruit production.
