Used as an organophosphate insecticide in agriculture, particularly effective against soil-dwelling pests and nematodes. Commonly applied in rice fields and vegetable crops to control insects during early growth stages. Acts as a systemic pesticide, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and distributed internally, offering protection from within. Its application helps improve crop yield by reducing damage caused by pest infestations. Due to its toxicity, proper handling and safety measures are required to minimize environmental and health risks.
