Highly effective against certain lepidopteran and homopteran pests, such as rice stem borers, codling moths, gypsy moths, and leaf rollers. Excellent control efficacy against resistant Colorado potato beetles. Foliar sprays and other application methods can reduce the feeding capacity of larvae and adults, as well as inhibit their egg-laying. For example, a 20% wettable powder is used to control rice leaf rollers and rice armyworms; applied at a rate of 150–300 g/ha for controlling vegetable (leafy vegetables) cabbage worms and Spodoptera litura; applied at 150–195 g/ha for controlling diamondback moths at a rate of 240–375 g/ha. When using a 20% suspension concentrate to control cabbage worms on kale, the application rate is 195–300 g/ha.
