Used primarily as a pesticide and fungicide in agriculture, particularly for controlling fungal diseases in crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and ornamental plants. It is effective against a range of soil-borne and foliar pathogens. Also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of other dithiocarbamate-based chemicals. Its action disrupts enzyme systems in fungi, making it a key component in seed treatments and soil fumigants. Additionally, it finds use in rubber manufacturing as a vulcanization accelerator, improving the durability and elasticity of rubber products.
