Used primarily in agriculture as an insecticide to protect crops from a wide range of pests. It is effective against pests such as aphids, thrips, and whiteflies, which can cause significant damage to fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The chemical works by targeting the nervous system of insects, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. Its application helps in maintaining crop health and yield, ensuring food security. It is often applied through foliar sprays or soil treatments, providing both immediate and residual protection. Its use is particularly valuable in integrated pest management programs, where it helps reduce the reliance on more toxic chemicals, promoting sustainable farming practices.
