Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling soil-borne fungal diseases in crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and strawberries. Effective against pathogens like Fusarium and Phytophthora species. Applied as a soil treatment or seed dressing to protect plants during early growth stages. Shows systemic activity, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and distributed internally, providing internal protection against fungal infections. Commonly used in integrated pest management programs where targeted control of specific fungi is required with minimal impact on beneficial organisms.
