Used primarily as a soil fumigant in agriculture to control nematodes, fungi, and weeds. It is applied before planting crops such as tomatoes, strawberries, potatoes, and tree nurseries. The solution penetrates soil effectively, providing broad-spectrum pest control. It is favored in regions with high pest pressure and is often used in combination with other fumigants to enhance efficacy. Due to its volatility, proper application techniques are required to minimize emissions and ensure worker safety.
