The "Double-Lock" Broad Spectrum Protector for Tomatoes and Paddy.
Syngenta Voliam Flexi is a superior, dual-action insecticide designed to tackle the most complex pest problems. By combining the muscle-paralyzing power of Chlorantraniliprole with the nerve-exciting speed of Thiamethoxam, it delivers comprehensive control. It targets chewing pests like Fruit Borers and Stem Borers while simultaneously wiping out sucking pests like Aphids, Jassids, and Whiteflies. One spray handles the entire pest complex.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Voliam Flexi uses a "Double Lock" mechanism to ensure pest mortality:
[Image of insect nerve and muscle inhibition diagram]- Muscle Paralysis (Chlorantraniliprole): It targets the Ryanodine receptors in muscles, causing uncontrolled calcium release. This leads to immediate paralysis and cessation of feeding.
- Nerve Overload (Thiamethoxam): It targets the nerve receptors, causing hyperexcitation, tremors, and collapse of the nervous system.
- The Result: Caterpillars stop eating your crop within minutes (saving the fruit), and sucking pests are knocked down quickly (preventing virus spread).
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest Complex |
|---|---|
| Tomato | Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa), Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips |
| Paddy (Rice) | Yellow Stem Borer, Leaf Folder, Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) |
| Vegetables | Mixed infestation of Borers and Sucking Pests |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Use the 100 ml bottle for approximately 1 to 1.25 acres. Ensure good water volume for canopy coverage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | 80 - 100 ml | 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 ml | 3 - 5 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 80 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 ml | 20 - 26 Days |
| Other Vegetables | 80 - 100 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.5 ml | 5 - 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Wait this many days before harvesting. For export Rice, check MRLs.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stages of infestation (ETL). For Tomato, spray at flowering/fruit set to prevent borer entry. For Paddy, spray at tillering to stop Dead Hearts.
- Mixing: The SC formulation mixes easily. Shake the bottle well. Mix the required dose (e.g., 7-8 ml per 15L tank) in water.
- Coverage: Use a standard nozzle. Ensure both the top and bottom of leaves are covered for maximum translaminar effect.
- Safety: Do NOT spray when bees are actively foraging on flowers. Spray in the late evening to protect pollinators.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Voliam Flexi better than separate sprays?
Yes. Instead of mixing a Borer spray and a Sucking Pest spray, Voliam Flexi gives you both in a perfectly balanced formulation. It saves labor and reduces error.
2. Does it kill Brown Plant Hopper (BPH)?
It suppresses BPH populations, but for heavy BPH outbreaks in Rice, specialized products like Ulala or Chess are recommended. Voliam Flexi is best for mixed Borer + Leaf Folder + GLH attacks.
3. Can I use it on flowering crops?
Use with caution. Thiamethoxam is toxic to bees. If you must spray during flowering, do it in the evening after bees have returned to the hive.
4. What is the dose for a 15-litre tank?
Use approximately 7 to 8 ml per 15-litre spray tank.
5. Is it safe for the plant?
Yes, the SC formulation is water-based and very safe for the crop. In fact, it often makes the crop look greener and healthier due to the "Vigour Effect."
