Used as a systemic insecticide in agriculture, horticulture, and urban pest control. It is effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing insects, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and planthoppers. Applied through soil drenching, seed treatment, foliar spray, or irrigation systems, it is rapidly absorbed by plant roots and distributed throughout the plant tissue. Commonly used on crops such as rice, vegetables, tea, and fruits. Also found in formulations for controlling household pests like cockroaches and ants. Its high water solubility allows for efficient uptake but requires careful management to minimize leaching and potential impact on non-target organisms.
