Vinclozolin in acetone is primarily used as a fungicide in agricultural practices, specifically for controlling fungal diseases in crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It is effective against Botrytis, Sclerotinia, and Monilinia species, which are common pathogens affecting these plants. The chemical is applied as a spray, often diluted in acetone to enhance its solubility and distribution on plant surfaces. Its mode of action involves inhibiting fungal spore germination and mycelial growth, thereby preventing the spread of infections. Additionally, it is used in post-harvest treatments to protect stored produce from fungal decay. However, due to its potential environmental and health impacts, its use is regulated in many regions, and alternative fungicides are often recommended.
