Imazalil is widely used as a fungicide in agriculture and food storage, particularly for controlling fungal diseases on fruits such as citrus, bananas, and apples. It is commonly applied post-harvest to prevent mold growth during transportation and storage. The chemical effectively inhibits the development of pathogens like Penicillium and Aspergillus species, helping to extend shelf life and reduce spoilage. It is also used in ornamental plant cultivation to manage fungal infections. Due to its systemic action, Imazalil penetrates plant tissues, offering both preventive and curative protection. Additionally, it finds use in industrial settings to control microbial growth in materials like adhesives and coatings.
