Used primarily as a broad-spectrum fungicide in agriculture, it controls a wide range of fungal diseases in fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops. It is effective against powdery mildew, blights, rots, and leaf spots. Commonly applied to control diseases such as botrytis, anthracnose, and gray mold in vineyards, orchards, and greenhouses. Also used post-harvest to protect stored produce from fungal decay. Its systemic action allows it to move within plant tissues, offering both preventive and curative effects. Due to concerns over toxicity and environmental persistence, its use has been restricted or discontinued in several countries.
