This chemical is primarily used as an insecticide in agricultural practices. It is effective against a variety of pests, particularly those that infest crops such as vegetables, fruits, and cereals. The compound works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to their eventual death. It is often applied as a foliar spray, ensuring that it comes into direct contact with the pests or is ingested by them as they feed on treated plants. Its use helps in protecting crops from significant damage, thereby supporting higher yields and better quality produce. Additionally, it is valued for its relatively low toxicity to non-target organisms, making it a preferred choice in integrated pest management programs.
