Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly effective against powdery mildew on crops such as cucurbits, grapes, and ornamentals. It works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells, leading to suppression of spore germination and mycelial growth. Applied as a foliar spray, it provides both preventive and early curative action. Shows good rainfastness and has systemic properties, allowing it to move within plant tissues to protect new growth. Suitable for integrated pest management programs due to its specific mode of action and low impact on non-target organisms when used as directed.
