Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fungicidal agents, particularly in agricultural chemistry for crop protection. It exhibits strong activity against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, making it valuable in formulating systemic fungicides. Its structure enables effective penetration and translocation within plant tissues, providing both preventive and curative action. Commonly applied in controlling fungal diseases in cereals, fruits, and vegetables, especially where resistance to other fungicide classes has developed. Also investigated for use in seed treatment to protect germinating seeds and young seedlings from soil-borne pathogens.
