Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling diseases in fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Effective against a range of fungal pathogens including those causing gray mold, sclerotinia rot, and botrytis blight. Commonly applied in vineyards, strawberries, and lettuce to protect crops during growth and post-harvest storage. Works by inhibiting fungal cell division and growth, providing both preventive and early curative action. Often included in integrated pest management programs due to its targeted activity and relatively low impact on non-target organisms when used as directed.
