Used as an insect growth regulator in agriculture to control a variety of insect pests, particularly in fruit, vegetable, and cotton crops. It works by disrupting the molting process in insects, preventing larvae from developing into adults, thereby reducing pest populations. Effective against pests such as thrips, whiteflies, and leafminers. Commonly applied through foliar sprays and integrates well into resistance management programs due to its unique mode of action. Suitable for use in both conventional and integrated pest management (IPM) systems.
