Used as an organophosphate insecticide in agriculture to control a wide range of pests such as aphids, mites, and leaf miners on fruit trees, vegetables, and field crops. Effective in both foliar sprays and soil applications due to its systemic properties. Commonly applied in integrated pest management programs where broad-spectrum insect control is needed. Its solution form allows for easy mixing and spraying, making it suitable for use with standard agricultural equipment. Requires careful handling due to toxicity to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and aquatic life.
