Used as a post-harvest fungicide to protect fruits, especially citrus, during storage and transportation. It prevents mold growth and extends shelf life by controlling fungal pathogens such as Penicillium and Aspergillus species. Commonly applied in wax coatings for oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits. Also used in agriculture to treat seeds and prevent fungal infections in crops. Effective in low concentrations and widely used in the food industry due to its residual protection and broad-spectrum activity.
