Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly in cereal crops like wheat and barley to control diseases such as rusts, powdery mildew, and leaf blotch. It works by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, which is essential for fungal cell membrane integrity. Applied as a foliar spray, it offers both protective and curative action, helping to maintain crop health and yield. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed and distributed within plant tissues, providing longer-lasting disease control. Commonly used in integrated pest management programs due to its effectiveness at lower application rates and favorable environmental profile.
