Used as an insect growth regulator in agriculture and public health, effectively controlling pest populations by disrupting their development. It targets eggs and larvae of insects such as whiteflies, aphids, and mosquitoes, preventing them from maturing into reproductive adults. Commonly applied in crop protection for vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants, it helps manage resistance-prone pests. Also used in mosquito control programs to reduce vector populations in standing water areas. Its long residual activity allows for less frequent application, improving efficiency in pest management.
