Azoxystrobin is widely used as a broad-spectrum fungicide in agriculture to protect crops from fungal diseases. It is applied to a variety of crops, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and turf, to control pathogens such as powdery mildew, rust, and blight. The chemical works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, effectively stopping their growth and spread. It is often used as a foliar spray, seed treatment, or soil drench, providing both preventive and curative action. Azoxystrobin is valued for its ability to enhance crop yield and quality by minimizing disease-related losses. Additionally, it is used in integrated pest management programs due to its low toxicity to non-target organisms and its role in reducing the need for multiple chemical applications.
