Used primarily as a pesticide, this chemical is effective in controlling insect populations in agricultural settings. It acts as a larvicide and insect growth regulator, disrupting the development of pests such as mosquitoes and other harmful insects. Commonly applied in crop protection, it helps safeguard plants by preventing infestations during critical growth stages. Its stability and slow release properties make it suitable for use in both soil and foliar treatments. Due to its urea-based structure, it can persist in the environment, providing extended protection, though this also requires careful management to minimize non-target effects.
