Widely used in agriculture as a systemic fungicide to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. It is particularly effective against powdery mildews, rusts, leaf spots, and smuts. Applied as a foliar spray or seed treatment, it penetrates plant tissues and provides both curative and protective action. Commonly used in the management of diseases like barley scab, wheat leaf rust, and apple powdery mildew. Its mode of action involves inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity. Due to its systemic nature, it offers longer-lasting protection and is often included in integrated pest management programs.
