Used primarily as a fungicide in agriculture to control fungal diseases in crops such as rice, vegetables, and fruits. It effectively targets pathogens like rice blast and sheath blight, enhancing crop yield and quality. Applied as a foliar spray, it forms a protective barrier on plant surfaces, preventing fungal growth and spread. Its mode of action involves inhibiting fungal respiration, making it a crucial tool in integrated pest management. Additionally, it is valued for its relatively low toxicity to non-target organisms, supporting sustainable farming practices.
