Sep 29, 2008Syngenta’s Voliam Xpress Insecticide Registered in the U.S.
Syngenta Crop Protection’s Voliam Xpress insecticide has been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Voliam Xpress is approved for use on head and leaf lettuce, fruiting vegetables, head and stem brassicas and cucurbit vegetables. 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 Xpress uses 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 lambda-cyhalothrin, a third-generation pyrethroid insecticide. The two active ingredients are combined in an enhanced solution that provides fast knockdown and long-lasting residual control of lepidopteran pests, as well as other pests like beetles, plant bugs, stink bugs and leafhoppers.
Voliam Xpress provides fast knockdown of insects after application. Some of the insecticide penetrates the leaf surface rapidly and moves via translaminar flow to create a reservoir inside the leaf, while the balance remains on the leaf surface to create a powerful barrier of control.
