Used as a fungicide in agriculture, particularly effective against soil-borne fungal pathogens. Commonly applied in nurseries and greenhouse settings to protect ornamental plants, vegetables, and turf from diseases like damping-off and root rot. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plant roots, providing internal protection. Often used as a soil drench or seed treatment due to its low volatility and stability in moist environments. Suitable for integrated pest management programs where control of fungal infections is critical during early plant growth stages.
