Chlorfenazole is a synthetic fungicide commonly used in agriculture to control fungal infections in crops. It works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the disruption of cell structure and function, ultimately causing fungal cell death. This mechanism prevents the growth and spread of a variety of fungal pathogens that affect plants, particularly in crops like fruits and vegetables.
