Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling soil-borne fungal diseases in crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, and ornamental plants. It is effective against pathogens like Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium species. Commonly applied as a soil drench or seed treatment to protect plants during early growth stages. Also used in turf management to control damping-off and root rot diseases. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plant roots, providing internal protection against fungal infections.
