Widely used in agriculture as a selective insecticide, it effectively controls lepidopteran pests in crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. It acts as a mimic of the insect molting hormone, disrupting the development of larvae and preventing them from maturing into adults. This mode of action makes it highly effective during the early stages of pest infestation. Due to its low toxicity to beneficial insects, birds, and mammals, it is considered a favorable option in integrated pest management programs. It is applied through foliar sprays and offers good rainfastness, ensuring prolonged activity under field conditions. Its minimal environmental impact and compatibility with many spray adjuvants enhance its utility in sustainable farming practices.
