Used as an acaricide in agriculture, particularly effective against mite species that infest crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It targets both adult mites and their larvae, providing broad-spectrum control and helping to manage populations resistant to other classes of acaricides. Applied through foliar sprays, it offers long-lasting protection due to its translaminar activity, meaning it moves within the leaf tissue to reach mites feeding on the undersides of leaves. Its selective mode of action minimizes impact on beneficial insects, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs.
