Dual Active Chemistry and Synergistic Modes of Action
Voliam Flexi synergizes an anthranilic diamide (Chlorantraniliprole) with a systemic neonicotinoid (Thiamethoxam) in a suspension concentrate.
Chlorantraniliprole acts on insect ryanodine receptors, halting muscular contraction and stopping caterpillar feeding within minutes of ingestion.
Thiamethoxam acts on post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, translocating systemically through plant xylem to provide extended residual control against sucking pests.
- Chlorantraniliprole component: Ryanodine receptor modulator providing long residual systemic protection against borers
- Thiamethoxam component: Neonicotinoid providing rapid systemic xylem movement against sucking insects
- Complete canopy protection: Simultaneously controls foliar caterpillars, boring larvae, and piercing-sucking pests
Target Pests and Approved Crop Applications
Voliam Flexi is registered across commercial vegetables, cotton, maize, and horticultural crops.
It delivers simultaneous suppression of foliar caterpillars, fruit borers, and destructive sap-sucking insects.
Foliar applications should be initiated when pest scouting reveals insect densities reaching designated economic threshold levels.
- Cotton: Controls aphids, jassids, thrips, and bollworm complexes
- Vegetables and chilies: Suppresses fruit borers, shoot borers, and whiteflies
- Maize: Highly effective against invasive Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and stem borers
Application Guidelines, Mixing, and Safety
Dilute the required dosage in clean water with agitation and apply using high-volume knapsack sprayers.
Spray during morning or evening hours with hollow cone nozzles, ensuring thorough coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Observe label pre-harvest intervals before picking commercial produce.
- Spray timing: Apply early in the morning with high-volume knapsack or boom sprayers
- Foliar coverage: Spray both upper and lower canopy surfaces until leaves are evenly coated
- Personal protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye goggles during preparation

Common questions
What chemicals are in Syngenta Voliam Flexi?
Voliam Flexi contains Chlorantraniliprole + Thiamethoxam, combining an anthranilic diamide with a systemic neonicotinoid.
Does Voliam Flexi control both sucking and chewing pests?
Yes, its combination chemistry effectively controls foliar caterpillars and borers alongside sap-sucking insects like aphids and whiteflies.
How quickly does Voliam Flexi stop caterpillar feeding?
The ryanodine receptor active stops insect muscular feeding within minutes of ingestion, preventing further crop defoliation.
