- Foliam Targo 063 SC is a systemic insecticide used as a foliar spray. It contains two active ingredients: chlorantranilproyl and abamectin . The product works through two complementary mechanisms: the first affects the insect's nervous system, leading to muscle paralysis, and the second interrupts the transmission of nerve signals, inhibiting movement and feeding. This combination makes it one of the most effective pesticides for controlling serious pests of vegetables and fruits, such as the tomato hornworm (Tuta absoluta) , borer worms, and leafrollers.

Mechanism of action of active ingredients

- Abamectin: It prevents the transmission of nerve signals through GABA receptors, which causes the insect to stop moving and digesting, thus gradually dying.
