Used as a soil fumigant in agriculture to control nematodes, fungi, and weeds. It is an alternative to methyl bromide, providing effective pest management in high-value crops like strawberries, tomatoes, and peppers. The compound breaks down rapidly in soil, reducing environmental persistence and minimizing residue concerns. Its mode of action involves releasing methyl isothiocyanate, which disrupts cellular processes in pests. Commonly applied through drip irrigation or soil injection, it offers good penetration and distribution in treated areas. Suitable for use in pre-planting stages under plastic mulch to enhance efficacy.
