Used primarily in agriculture as an insecticide to control pests on crops such as cotton, tea, and fruits. It is effective against a wide range of insects, including aphids, whiteflies, and beetles. Applied through spraying, it helps protect plants from damage and increases yield. However, its use is highly regulated due to environmental and health concerns, as it is toxic to non-target organisms, including humans and aquatic life. In some regions, it has been banned or restricted, prompting the search for safer alternatives. Proper handling and disposal are crucial to minimize its impact on ecosystems.
