It works by inhibiting spore germination and mycelial growth of the pathogen, providing protective and curative action. Applied as a foliar spray, it is valued for its systemic movement within plant tissues, offering reliable disease control under high-pressure conditions. Its use supports integrated pest management programs due to its specific mode of action and favorable environmental profile.
