Voliam Flexi Insecticide Approved In California
May 22, 2009 Voliam Flexi insecticide from Syngenta Crop Protection has been registered by California Department of Pesticide Regulation for use on potatoes, pome fruit, stone fruit, and grapes. State registrations or specific crop and/or pest uses may still be pending in certain states. Please check with your state regulatory agency to determine registration status.
Voliam Flexi features two modes of action to protect crops from chewing and sucking insects as well as lepidopteran pests. It contains chlorantraniliprole (CTPR), a new mode of action from the diamide family of insecticides and thiamethoxam, a member of the neonicotinoid class of chemistry.
“Different insect pest populations often overlap in these fruit and potato crops, and growers can maximize their window of opportunity by controlling beetles, leafhoppers, aphids, and worms at the same time, with one product,” said John Koenig, Syngenta insecticide brand manager.
