Widely used in agriculture as a systemic fungicide, especially effective against soil-borne and seed-borne fungal diseases caused by pathogens like Pythium and Phytophthora. Commonly applied in seed treatment for crops such as potatoes, soybeans, and sunflowers to prevent damping-off and root rot. Also used in foliar sprays and soil drenches for vegetables, tobacco, and ornamental plants. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plant tissues, providing internal protection and longer-lasting disease control. Often combined with other fungicides to broaden the spectrum of activity and reduce the risk of resistance development.
