Used primarily as an insect growth regulator in agriculture, it effectively controls fly larvae in livestock operations, particularly in poultry and cattle facilities. It prevents larvae from developing into adult flies, thereby breaking the reproductive cycle and reducing infestations. Commonly added to animal feed, it helps manage pests like houseflies and stable flies, improving animal health and hygiene. Its targeted mode of action makes it safe for use around animals while minimizing resistance development. Also applied in integrated pest management programs in greenhouses and waste management sites.
