Used in the agricultural industry as a starting material for the production of fungicides, particularly in the group of fungicides used to prevent and control fungal infections in plants, such as those causing leaf blight or rust in various economic crops like rice, wheat, and certain vegetables. This substance is effective in inhibiting fungal growth in both early and developmental stages, making it popular for use in mixtures or spray formulations on plants. Additionally, it is utilized in agricultural chemistry research to develop specific pesticides that are targeted and reduce environmental impact.
