Why is the conversion factor so large between ton (long)/cubic yard and fg/L?

Because ton (long)/cubic yard measures bulk density of large masses, whereas femtogram per liter measures ultrafine mass concentrations, the units differ vastly in scale requiring a high conversion value.

In what fields is this conversion most commonly used?

It is used in civil engineering, environmental science, analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, nanoparticle research, and water-quality testing where both large-scale and ultratrace densities are relevant.

Can I use this conversion for experimental measurements directly?

Conversions to femtogram per liter are mainly for theoretical or modeling purposes, as femtogram/liter units typically measure extremely dilute solutions rather than bulk materials.
