It is applied to soil and seeds to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms that can damage plant health. Additionally, it has been utilized in wood preservation to protect against decay caused by fungi and insects. In industrial applications, it serves as a biocide in cooling water systems to control microbial growth. Its effectiveness in inhibiting a broad spectrum of pathogens makes it valuable in maintaining crop yields and material integrity. However, its use is regulated due to environmental and health concerns.
