Used as a systemic fungicide in agriculture to control sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani in rice crops. It is applied through foliar spray or soil drench, providing long-lasting protection by penetrating plant tissues and inhibiting fungal respiration. Effective at low application rates, it shows strong preventive and curative action, making it suitable for integrated pest management programs. Also used in seed treatment to protect against soil-borne pathogens during early crop growth stages.
