Used primarily as a fungicide in agricultural settings, this compound effectively controls a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in crops. It is especially effective against powdery mildew, rusts, and leaf spots in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Its mode of action involves inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, which is essential for fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to cell leakage and death of the pathogen. Due to its systemic properties, it is readily absorbed by plant tissues, offering both preventive and curative protection. It is often formulated in combination with other fungicides to enhance efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance development. Also applied as a seed treatment to protect germinating seeds and young seedlings from soil-borne fungi. Its stability and long residual activity make it suitable for use in integrated pest management programs.
