Trichlorfon is mostly used to kill mangold fly larvae it is also very efficient against the dangerous rice weevil, which can destroy whole harvests. Trichlorfon is successfully used in viticulture (to kill grapevine moths) and pomiculture (to kill apple, pear and plum sawflies, apple ermine moths and gooseberry sawflies). Trichlorfon is very efficient in cot-ton-growing (to kill cotton worms). The low toxicity of trichlorfon for warm-blooded animals accounts for its use in veterinary medicine to combat parasites on large animals.
