General Information:

Voltage is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the tetramic acid derivative class of insecticides. It is effective against a wide range of sucking pests, including whiteflies, thrips, mites, and immature stages of leafhoppers, psyllids, and scales. Voltage is particularly effective in controlling pests that have developed resistance to other insecticides.

Active Ingredient:

Voltage contains the active ingredient spiromesifen, a tetramic acid derivative that acts as an inhibitor of lipid biosynthesis in insects.

Mode of Action:

Voltage is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that disrupts the molting process in insects. It prevents the formation of chitin, a key component of the insect's exoskeleton. This disruption prevents the insect from molting and maturing, ultimately leading to its death.

Application:

Voltage is available in a soluble granule (SG) formulation. It can be applied to a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and field crops. Always follow the label directions for the specific formulation you are using.

Method of Application:

Voltage can be applied using a variety of methods, including foliar spraying, soil drenching, and seed treatment. The most common method of application is foliar spraying, which involves spraying the insecticide onto the leaves of the plants. Soil drenching involves applying the insecticide to the soil around the base of the plants, and seed treatment involves coating the seeds with the insecticide before planting.

Precautions:

Voltage is relatively safe when used according to label directions. However, it is important to avoid contact with skin and eyes, and to wear protective clothing when applying the insecticide. Voltage is also toxic to bees and other beneficial insects, so it should not be applied when these insects are active.
