Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling oomycete diseases such as late blight in potatoes and tomatoes. It is effective against pathogens like Phytophthora infestans and is often applied in combination with other fungicides to enhance performance and reduce the risk of resistance development. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plant tissues, providing both preventive and early curative protection. Commonly used in foliar sprays, it supports integrated pest management programs in vegetable crops.
