Used as a potent insecticide, particularly effective against a wide range of chewing and sucking pests in agriculture. It shows high activity in controlling lepidopteran larvae such as caterpillars and borers in crops like cotton, rice, and vegetables. The compound acts by disrupting insect growth and feeding behavior, leading to rapid cessation of damage and eventual pest mortality. Its systemic and translaminar properties allow for effective distribution within plant tissues, enhancing protection. Commonly formulated in emulsifiable concentrates and granules for foliar application or soil treatment. Exhibits long residual activity, reducing the frequency of reapplication. Also used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs due to its selectivity and favorable environmental profile when used at recommended doses.
