Used as an organophosphate insecticide in agricultural settings to control a variety of insect pests on crops such as cotton, vegetables, and fruits. It is effective against sucking and chewing insects, including aphids, mites, and thrips. Commonly applied through foliar sprays or soil treatments, it acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in insects, leading to nervous system disruption and death. Due to its toxicity, proper handling and application procedures are essential to minimize risks to non-target organisms and the environment.
