Used as a potent fungicide in agriculture, particularly effective against a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens including rusts, powdery mildews, and leaf spots. It is commonly applied to crops such as cereals, soybeans, and fruits to protect yield and quality. The compound works by inhibiting fungal respiration through disruption of mitochondrial electron transport, leading to rapid cessation of pathogen growth. Its systemic and translaminar properties allow for effective distribution within plant tissues, providing both preventive and curative action. Often formulated in combination with other fungicides to manage resistance development in target fungi.
