Used as an insecticide in agriculture, particularly effective against sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. It is applied to crops such as vegetables, fruits, and rice to protect them from pest damage. Acts by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Known for its systemic action, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and distributed through its tissues, providing long-lasting protection. Often used in integrated pest management programs due to its targeted activity and relatively low impact on non-target organisms when applied correctly.
