An insecticide and acaricide; reduces lipid biosynthesis; inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase; inhibits chitinase from S. littoralis larvae (IC50s = 0.60 and 0.72 μM for enzyme isolated from lab and field strains, respectively); induces toxicity in whitefly nymphs (LC50 = 0.61 mg/L), spider mite eggs (LC50 = 0.16 mg/kg), and second instar larvae of S. littoralis lab and field strains (LC50s = 0.44 and 0.68 ppm, respectively, at 72 hours post-application); induces 50, 60, and 70% mortality in H. armigera, O. nubilalis, and P. xylostella, respectively, at 600 mg/kg; induces 100% mortality in M. separata at 100 mg/kg; induces toxicity in D. magna (EC50 = >0.092 mg a.s./L) and O. mykiss and L. macrochirus (LC50s = 0.016 and >0.034 mg a.s./L, respectively) but not rats (LD50 = >2,000 mg/kg); inhibits the human GST isozyme GSTA1-1 (IC50 = 12.1 μM)
