Used as an organophosphate insecticide in agriculture to control a wide range of soil and foliar pests in crops such as cotton, corn, and vegetables. It is effective against insects like aphids, thrips, and certain beetles by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, disrupting nervous system function in pests. Commonly applied during planting or early growth stages for systemic protection. Due to its toxicity and environmental persistence, its use is restricted or banned in several countries.
