It is marketed under the trade names Furadan, by FMC Corporation and Curaterr 10 GR, by Bayer, among several others. It is used to control insects in a wide variety of field crops, including potatoes, corn and soybeans. It is a systemic insecticide, which means that the plant absorbs it through the roots, and from there the plant distributes it throughout its organs where insecticidal concentrations are attained.
