Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling powdery mildew and other fungal diseases in fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis, disrupting pathogen growth. Commonly applied as a foliar spray, it is effective during early stages of plant growth and in greenhouse settings. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed and distributed within plant tissues, providing protective and curative effects. Often included in resistance management programs due to its unique mode of action.
