Widely used as a broad-spectrum fungicide in agriculture, this chemical protects crops from a variety of fungal diseases including leaf spots, blights, and molds. It is commonly applied to fruits, vegetables, nuts, and field crops through foliar spraying. Due to its protective action, it is especially effective when used preventively before disease symptoms appear. It also finds use in non-agricultural settings such as in paint formulations to prevent fungal growth on exterior surfaces. Its stability and residual activity make it suitable for use in regions with high humidity and frequent rainfall where fungal pressure is high.
