Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling downy mildew and late blight in crops like grapes, potatoes, and vegetables. It works effectively in early stages of fungal infection by inhibiting spore germination and mycelial growth. Commonly applied as a foliar spray, it is often combined with other protective fungicides to enhance disease control and reduce the risk of resistance development. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plant tissues, providing both preventive and curative effects.
