Used primarily as an insect growth regulator in pest control, this chemical interferes with chitin synthesis in insects, preventing proper development of the exoskeleton during molting. It is highly effective against a range of insect pests, especially in forestry and agriculture, targeting species such as caterpillars, beetles, and termites. Due to its low toxicity to mammals and minimal environmental impact when used as directed, it is favored in integrated pest management programs. The solution formulation allows for easy mixing and application via spraying on crops, trees, or infested areas, providing long-lasting control with relatively low application rates.
