Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea. It is effective in both leaf and panicle stages of rice growth, providing protective and curative action. The solution formulation allows for easy mixing and application through foliar spraying. It is often used in integrated pest management programs due to its systemic activity and relatively low impact on non-target organisms. Commonly applied in rice-growing regions to ensure crop yield and prevent disease spread under high humidity and favorable infection conditions.
