Used as a systemic insecticide in agriculture to control sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips on crops like vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. It is applied through foliar spray or soil drench, where it is absorbed and distributed throughout the plant, providing long-lasting protection. Commonly used in integrated pest management programs due to its effectiveness at low application rates and relatively lower impact on non-target organisms. Also found in formulations for seed treatment and in some household pest control products.
