Widely used in agriculture as a systemic fungicide, especially effective against soil-borne and seed-borne fungal diseases caused by oomycetes. Commonly applied to control pathogens such as Phytophthora, Pythium, and downy mildews in crops like potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, sunflowers, and sugar beets. It is often used as a seed treatment to protect young seedlings during early growth stages. Due to its systemic action, it is absorbed by plant tissues and translocated upwards, providing internal protection. Frequently formulated in combination with other fungicides to broaden the spectrum of control and reduce the risk of resistance development.
