Voliam Targo 063 SC is a systemic insecticide applied as a foliar spray. It contains two active ingredients, chlorantraniliprole and abamectin, which work through two complementary modes of action: the first acts on the insect's nervous system and causes muscle paralysis, and the second blocks nerve-signal transmission and stops movement and feeding. This combination makes it one of the strongest products for controlling serious pests of vegetables and fruit such as the tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta), borers and leaf rollers.
Key Features
- Combines two active ingredients for stronger and faster action.
- Causes rapid paralysis of the pest, followed by feeding stop and death.
- Effective against a wide range of pests (borers, leaf miners, Tuta absoluta).
- Long-lasting effect that protects the crop for several days.
- Safe on crops when used at the recommended rates.
- Suitable for open fields and greenhouses.

Mode of Action
- Chlorantraniliprole: triggers calcium release inside the pest's cells, leading to impaired muscle movement and complete paralysis.
- Abamectin: blocks nerve-signal transmission through GABA receptors, so the insect stops moving and feeding and dies gradually.
