Used as an insecticide in agriculture to control pests on crops such as cotton, vegetables, and fruits. Effective against a range of sucking and chewing insects including aphids, mites, and thrips. Commonly applied through spraying, it acts primarily as a contact and stomach poison, disrupting the nervous system of insects. Also used in stored grain protection to prevent infestation during storage and transport. Its solution form allows for easy mixing and application in both aerial and ground-based systems.
