Endosulfan has been used in agriculture around the world to control insect pests, including whiteflies, aphids, leafhoppers, Colorado potato beetles and cabbage worms. Due to its unique mode of action, it is useful in resistance management; however, as it is not specific, it can negatively impact populations of beneficial insects.[11] It is, however, considered to be moderately toxic to honey bees,[12] and it is less toxic to bees than organophosphate insecticides.
