Phoxim solution is widely used as an organophosphate insecticide in agriculture to control a variety of soil-dwelling and foliar pests. It is effective against insects such as aphids, grubs, mites, and certain beetle larvae that damage crops like vegetables, fruits, and cereals. The solution is typically applied through soil drenching, seed treatment, or foliar spraying, providing systemic protection as it is absorbed by plant roots or leaves. It is particularly valued for its quick knockdown effect and persistence in soil, offering extended control of pests during critical growth stages. Due to its mode of action—acetylcholinesterase inhibition—it disrupts the nervous system of target insects, leading to paralysis and death. Phoxim solution is also used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, though care is required to minimize impact on beneficial insects and non-target organisms. Its use is regulated in many countries to ensure safe handling and to reduce environmental contamination, especially in areas with groundwater concerns.
