Prothion is a carbamate-based fungicide primarily used to control fungal diseases in crops by inhibiting spore germination and fungal growth. Its mechanism of action involves the disruption of mitochondrial function in fungi, impairing energy production and cellular respiration. Prothion is typically applied as a foliar spray and is effective against a range of fungal pathogens, contributing to improved crop health and yield. It is used in integrated pest management programs due to its targeted activity and compatibility with other treatments.
