Used as a systemic fungicide in agriculture to control a wide range of fungal diseases in crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It is effective against rusts, powdery mildew, leaf spots, and smuts by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, which disrupts fungal cell membrane formation. Commonly applied through foliar spray or seed treatment to protect plants during growth or prevent infection at early stages. Its residual activity provides long-lasting protection, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs.
