Used primarily as a fungicide in agricultural settings, this compound is effective against a range of fungal pathogens that affect crops. It is commonly applied to control diseases in cereals, fruits, and vegetables by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, a key component of fungal cell membranes. Its systemic properties allow it to be absorbed and distributed within plant tissues, providing both preventive and curative action. Due to its stability and long residual activity, it is often included in crop protection programs where sustained disease control is required. It may also find use in seed treatment to protect germinating seeds and young seedlings from soil-borne fungi.
