Iprodione is used on crops affected by Botrytis bunch rot, Brown rot, Sclerotinia and other fungal diseases in plants.

It is currently applied in a variety of crops: fruit, vegetables, ornamental trees and shrubs and on lawns.

This chemical was developed originally by Rhône-Poulenc Agrochimie (later Aventis CropScience and in 2002 acquired by Bayer).
