Ethiprole is widely used in agriculture as an insecticide to protect crops from a variety of pests. It is particularly effective against soil-dwelling insects and pests that attack the roots of plants. Farmers apply ethiprole to fields to control pests like beetles, weevils, and other harmful insects that can damage crops such as rice, corn, and vegetables. Its mode of action involves disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to their elimination. Ethiprole is valued for its ability to provide long-lasting protection, ensuring healthier crop yields. Additionally, it is often used in integrated pest management programs to reduce the reliance on more toxic chemicals, promoting sustainable farming practices.
