Used primarily as a soil fumigant in agriculture to control nematodes, fungi, and weeds. It is especially effective in high-value crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, and potatoes, where soil-borne pests can significantly reduce yields. Applied before planting, it penetrates the soil to create a pest-free environment for crop development. Its use is often combined with other fumigants to enhance effectiveness. Due to its volatility, proper application techniques are essential to minimize emissions and ensure worker safety. Commonly used in regions with intensive farming where crop rotation alone is insufficient for pest management.
