Widely used in agriculture as a systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide. Effective against a broad spectrum of sucking and chewing pests such as aphids, mites, thrips, leafhoppers, and whiteflies on crops like fruits, vegetables, cotton, and ornamental plants. Applied through foliar spray or soil drench, it is absorbed by plant tissues and provides residual protection. Commonly used in integrated pest management programs, especially where resistance to other insecticides has developed. Due to its toxicity to beneficial insects and potential environmental impact, its use is restricted or regulated in some regions.
