Used as an insecticide in agriculture, particularly effective against sucking pests like aphids, whiteflies, and planthoppers. It is applied to crops such as rice, vegetables, and cotton. Shows good systemic activity, meaning it is absorbed and distributed within the plant, providing internal protection. Often used in integrated pest management programs due to its selectivity and lower impact on non-target organisms. Effective at low application rates and suitable for use in rotation with other insecticides to help manage resistance development.
