Used primarily as a soil fumigant and nematicide in agricultural settings to control nematodes, insects, and other soil-borne pests. Applied before planting crops like potatoes, bananas, and tobacco to protect roots and improve yield. Effective in managing pest populations in both field and greenhouse environments. Requires careful handling and application due to its toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife. Often incorporated into the soil to ensure proper distribution and effectiveness.
