This chemical is a carbamate insecticide used primarily in agricultural applications. It is effective in controlling various insect pests, such as fruit borers, fruit flies, and aphids. The compound is typically applied by spraying on affected or potentially affected plants. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death of the pest. Additionally, it can be used to prevent outbreaks of insect pests in crops such as citrus, mango, and papaya. However, it should be used with caution, strictly following label instructions to minimize environmental impact and risks to user health.
