For the control of codling moth and leafrollers on Pipfruit

GENERAL INFORMATION
VOLIAM TARGO is a non systemic foliar-applied insecticide that controls codling moth and leafrollers in apples and pears. It contains two active ingredients with complementary modes of action with both contact and ingestion activity. VOLIAM TARGO has translaminar movement as well as residual activity on the leaf surface. Thorough coverage is essential to ensure optimum results.
Note: DO NOT apply if rainfall is expected before spray would have dried, as reduced efficacy may result.
Crop monitoring: For effective Codling moth and Leafroller control, regularly monitor crops during the season and apply when the pest threshold is reached.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
VOLIAM TARGO contains members of the chloride channel activator (avermectin) and ryanodine receptor modulator (diamide) group of fungicides. VOLIAM TARGO is a Group 6 and 28 insecticide. Resistance to this insecticide could develop from repeated use. To minimise this risk use strictly in accordance with label instructions and resistance management strategies.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
VOLIAM TARGO is compatible with IPM programmes using the predator mites Typhlodromus pyri, Phytoseiulus persimilis and T.occidentalis (although VOLIAM TARGO may suppress numbers temporarily).

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
DO NOT apply when weather conditions favour drift from the target area. Very toxic to fish and other water-borne organisms.
