Used as a systemic insecticide in agriculture to control sucking and chewing pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafhoppers. It is applied to crops like cotton, cereals, vegetables, and soybeans through seed treatment, soil drenching, or foliar spray. Translated into plant tissues, it affects the central nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Commonly used in integrated pest management programs due to its effectiveness at low doses and long residual activity. Also used in urban pest control and for termite management in some formulations.
