Used primarily in agriculture as an insecticide to control pests such as whiteflies, leafhoppers, and scale insects on crops like rice, citrus, and vegetables. It works by inhibiting chitin synthesis, disrupting the growth and development of immature insects. Effective in integrated pest management programs due to its selective action on target pests while being less harmful to beneficial insects and the environment. Applied as a foliar spray, it provides long-lasting protection, reducing the need for frequent applications.
