PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION
Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly
with soap and water after handling, and before drinking, eating, chewing gum, using
tobacco, or using the toilet.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Shoes plus socks
• Chemical-resistant gloves
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions
exist for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
Engineering Control Statements
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets
the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or
modified as specified in the WPS.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or
using the toilet.
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash
thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, oysters and
shrimp.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming
crops/plants or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming
crops/plants or weeds while bees are foraging inor adjacent to the treatment area.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to jntertidal
areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff from treated areas may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when
cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash waters.
• Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain
water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching
surface water via runoff for several months after application. A level, well-
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied
and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of thiamethoxam water from runoff water and sediment. Runoff
of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to
occur within 48 hours. (See manual at the following internet address:
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsA/V2Q/pest/core4.html).
• Ground Water Advisory
This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into the ground water if used
in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
• Spray Drift Advisory
Do not allow this product to drift.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY
RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL
RESIDUES.
INFORMATION
Voliam Flexi is a foliar-applied insecticide with dual modes of action that controls key
lepidopteran insects, and listed sucking and chewing insect pests. Foliar application of
Voliam Flexi exhibits excellent translaminar and locally systemic movement into plant
tissue as well as accumulation on the leaf surface. Penetration into the leaf tissue
forms a reservoir of active ingredient which results in extended residual control.
Effective crop protection results from rapid feeding inhibition.
For best performance, always follow these directions:
• Apply Voliam Flexi when insect pest populations begin to build, but before
populations reach economically damaging levels. Economic thresholds for pests
controlled by Voliam Flexi may be available from your local agricultural authorities.
• Thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. Apply Voliam Flexi
in sufficient water to ensure good coverage. See specific application information in
the Crop Use Directions section of this label. The use of higher water volumes will
generally result in better coverage, especially under adverse conditions (e.g., hot,
dry) or where a dense plant canopy exists.
/I
-10-
• Voliam Flexi is rainfast once the spray solution has dried on treated plants.
• Voliam Flexi may aid in the suppression of some pests. Suppression can mean
either inconsistent control (good to poor), or consistent control at a level below that
generally considered acceptable for commercial control.
• Voliam Flexi is safe for listed crops when used in accordance with this label.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Some insect pests are known to develop resistance to products after repeated use.
Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should
conform to sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use
area. Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-
term control of the insects on this label.
Voliam Flexi contains a Group 4A insecticide (thiamethoxam, belonging to the
neonicotinoid class of chemistry) and a Group 28 insecticide (chlorantraniliprole,
belonging to the diamide class of chemistry). Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent
resistance to Group 4A or Group 28 insecticides may eventually dominate the insect
population if Group 4A or Group 28 insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant
method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control
of those species by Voliam Flexi or other Group 4A or Group 28 insecticides.
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a
similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot
be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of
insect may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a
reasonable cause, immediately consult your local company representative or
agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control for your area.
In order to maintain susceptibility to these classes of chemistry:
• Avoid using Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides exclusively for season long
control of insect species with more than one generation per crop season.
• For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply Voliam Flexi or
other Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides using a "treatment window" approach.
A treatment window is a period of time as defined by the stage of crop development
and/or the biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment window, depending
on the length of residual activity, there may either be single or consecutive
applications (seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated in the Directions for
Use) of the Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum
Voliam Flexi allowed per growing season.
• Following a treatment window of Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides, rotate to a
treatment window of effective products with a different mode of action before making
additional applications of Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides.
-11-
• A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use
area, is considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest's ability to
develop resistance to these classes of chemistry.
• If resistance is suspected, do not reapply Voliam Flexi or other Group 4A or Group
28 insecticides.
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include:
• Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program.
• Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.
• Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of
action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop
outlet and effective rates are applied.
For additional information on Insect Resistance Management:
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product
manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Ground Application
Select spray nozzles which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition. Use
spray nozzles, which provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help insure
accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and
calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and/or State Extension Service specialists.
Apply Voliam Flexi using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform
coverage. In situations where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high, use
greater water volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant, as allowed under specific Crop
Use Directions section of this label, may improve spray coverage but is not required.
Do not make applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained
or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Precautions: (1) When using water volumes of 5-10 gals., fine-sized droplets may be
used to improve spray coverage. (2) Select nozzles, which produce the desired droplet
sizes at the normal rated pressure range. (3) When spraying fine-sized droplets,
carefully check all nozzles for flow and calibrate the sprayer. (4) The sprayer should
travel at a uniform speed across the field. (5) Monitor environmental conditions and
follow Spray Drift Precautions carefully.
Aerial Application
Apply Voliam Flexi in water, using the minimum spray volume indicated in the Crop Use
Directions section of this label. Increase spray volume where practical to improve
coverage. Do not make application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Spray Drift Precautions
As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not
allow spray to drift onto adjacent land, crops, or aquatic areas. To avoid spray drift:
• Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition
(approximately 3-10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Do
not make applications when wind gusts approach 10 mph.
• Do not make applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area to reduce
the risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas.
• Do not cultivate or plant crops within 25 ft. of the aquatic area as to allow growth of a
vegetative filter strip.
• Do not make applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are
characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increased height above
the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.
The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and
observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
• Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control. Small droplets are
more prone to spray drift, and can be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by
orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding
excessive spray boom pressure.
• Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for
adequate coverage. Do not make applications more than 10 ft. above the crop
canopy.
• For aerial applications, mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to minimize drift
caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length must be used and
must not exceed 75% of wing span or rotor diameter.
Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) - Potatoes Only
Voliam Flexi alone or in combination with other products which are registered for
application through sprinkler irrigation may be applied through irrigation systems. Apply
this product only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, or moving wheel irrigation
H/fyo-13-
systems. Do not apply Voliam Flexi through any other type of irrigation system. Lack of
effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues can result from non-uniform distribution of
treated water. If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the
chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
Using Water from Public Water Systems: DO NOT APPLY VOLIAM FLEXI
THROUGH ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEM. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public
of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service
connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60
days out of the year. Voliam Flexi may be applied through irrigation systems, which
may be supplied by a public water system only if the water from the public water
system is discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be
a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or
overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there
is no blockage of the overflow of the reservoir tank.
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public water system must also meet
the following requirements.
Operating Instructions for All Specified Types of Irrigation Systems
1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have
questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
manufacturers, or other experts.
2. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-
pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water
source contamination from backflow.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed,
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and
connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the
supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down.
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off
the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
-14-
6. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which
will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point
where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
7. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection
pump (e.g., diaphragm pump, or a Venturi injector) effectively designed and
constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being
fitted with a system interlock.
8. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
Calibration and Application Instructions
Voliam Flexi must be applied under the schedule specified in the specific crop use
directions, not according to the irrigation schedule unless the events coincide.
Set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water per acre. Run the system at
85 - 90% of the manufacturer's maximum rated travel speed.
The following calibration and application techniques are provided for user reference, but
do not constitute a warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation
equipment. Check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions
before applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes: (1) Use only drive systems that provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not
use end guns when chemigating Voliam Flexi through center pivot systems because of
non-uniform application. (3) Plug the first nozzle closest to the well-head to protect the
water source.
1. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
2. Determine the time required to apply 0.1 - 0.25 inches of water over the area to be
treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures
as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Run the system at 80 - 95% of the
manufacturer's rated maximum travel speed.
3. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line
pressure.
4. Determine the amount of Voliam Flexi, and any tank mix partners, required to treat
the area covered by the irrigation system.

-15-
r V( /fo
5. Add the required amount of Voliam Flexi, any tank mix partners, and sufficient water
to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. (See Mixing
Procedures section of this label.)
6. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the
Voliam Flexi solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring
the system to full pressure.
7. Maintain constant agitation in the solution tank during the injection period.
8. Inject the specified amount of Voliam Flexi per acre continuously for one complete
revolution of the system.
9. Stop the injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the
system until the Voliam Flexi solution has cleared all of the sprinkler heads.
10. Allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles before turning off
irrigation water.
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
1. Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers.
2. Fill injector solution tank with plain water and calibrate the flow rate of the system to
deliver the contents of the tank over a 20-40 minute time interval.
3. Determine the amount of Voliam Flexi required to treat the area covered by the
irrigation system.
4. Add the required amount of Voliam Flexi, and any other tank mix partners, into the
same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. (See Mixing
Procedures section of this label.)
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the
calibration.
6. Inject specified amount of Voliam Flexi per acre for either a 20-40 minute period at
the end of a regular irrigation set, or as a 20-40 minute injection as a separate
application not associated with a regular irrigation to maximize retention of the
insecticide by the foliage.
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the
system until the Voliam Flexi solution has cleared the last sprinkler head. To
ensure lines are flushed and free from remaining pesticides, a dye indicator may be
injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period.

clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary for
proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying
operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the
spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously
treated area. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
Voliam Flexi Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add
the desired amount of Voliam Flexi to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the
remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after Voliam Flexi has
completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has
been applied.
Voliam Flexi + Tank Mixtures
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running
before adding any tank mix partners. Add tank mix partners in this order: products
packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry
flowables) such as Voliam Flexi, liquid flowables, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, and
surfactants / adjuvants. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed
before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder
of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Note: When using Voliam Flexi in tank mixtures, add all products in water-soluble
packaging to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Voliam Flexi. Allow
the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely
disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank.
If using Voliam Flexi in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use
rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations, which appear on the tank mix product
label. Do not exceed any label dosage rate, and follow the most restrictive label
precautions and limitations. Do not mix this product with any product which prohibits
such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label
are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are labeled.
Use of adjuvants is only allowed on certain crops - see specific crop instructions for
adjuvants in the Crop Use Directions section of this label.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, use an adjuvant that meets the
standard of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant
certification program.

Compatibility
Voliam Flexi is compatible with most commonly used pesticides, crop oils, adjuvants,
and nutritional sprays. However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures, the
user should pre-test to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of
any proposed mixtures with Voliam Flexi. To determine the physical compatibility of
Voliam Flexi with other products, use a jar test, as described below.
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add
wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables,
and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5
minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically
compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding
required ingredients to the spray tank.
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested. Confirm the
safety to the target crop before applying any tank mixture not specified on this label.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS
Pollinator Precautions
• Voliam Flexi is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on
blooming crops/plants or weeds.
• For apples, do not apply Voliam Flexi after pre-bloom (early pink growth
stage) or before post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
• For citrus, do not apply during pre-bloom or during bloom when bees are
foraging.
• For pears, do not apply Voliam Flexi after pre-bloom (green cluster stage)
or before post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
• For stone fruit, do not apply Voliam Flexi between the pre-bloom (swollen
bud) and post bloom (petal fall) growth stages.
• Do not apply Voliam Flexi or allow it to drift to blooming crops/plants or weeds if
bees are foraging inor adjacent to the treatment area. This is especially critical if
there are adjacent orchards that are blooming (Refer to Spray Drift Precautions
for additional information).
• After a Voliam Flexi application, wait at least 5 days before placing
beehives in the treated field.
• If bees are foraging in the ground cover and it contains any blooming plants or
weeds, always remove flowers before making an application. This may be
accomplished by mowing, disking, mulching, flailing, or applying a labeled
herbicide.
