Used as an organophosphate insecticide in agricultural settings to control a variety of insect pests on crops. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting the nervous system of insects. Commonly applied in soil or foliar treatments for vegetables, fruits, and field crops. Its systemic properties allow it to be absorbed and distributed within plant tissues, providing protection against sap-feeding and chewing insects. Due to its toxicity and potential environmental impact, its use is regulated in many countries.
