Used as a systemic fungicide in agriculture to control diseases caused by oomycete pathogens, particularly those in the genus Phytophthora and Pythium. It is effective in protecting crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, soybeans, and ornamental plants from root rot, damping-off, and late blight. Applied as a seed treatment, soil drench, or foliar spray, it is absorbed by plant tissues and translocated upward through the xylem, providing internal protection. Often combined with other fungicides to enhance efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance development. Widely used in both conventional and greenhouse farming due to its reliable performance in wet conditions.
