How It Works: Mode of Action
- Pests contact or ingest treatment: Both exposure modes are described by Rallis.
- Chloride channels are blocked: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels involved in insect nerve signalling.
- Normal nerve function is disturbed: This produces insecticidal action in susceptible pests; no fixed kill time or growth/yield benefit is asserted.
Use the mode-of-action group when planning resistance management; changing brands does not necessarily change the group. Follow the current pack and local crop advice.

The current rice leaf-folder target is retained. Its separate older branded rate is shown below; water and complete current application directions remain unconfirmed.
Dosage & Application Guide
Reference only: most figures below are from CIB&RC major uses updated to 30 September 2025, not a verified current branded leaflet. The separately marked rice leaf-folder row comes from an older Sonic Flo 5% SC manufacturer catalogue. Neither source is a complete current application programme; match the supplied Indian pack before use.

Current branded method, exact crop stage, equipment, repeat limits and re-entry remain unconfirmed. The older catalogue says to time treatment to pest occurrence; this does not establish a route or a complete programme.
Cotton A: aphids, jassids, thrips and whitefly. Cotton B: bollworms. Chilli: thrips, aphids and fruit borer; cabbage: diamondback moth. Sugarcane: early shoot borer and root borer.
Acre figures with hectare values are approximate conversions using 0.40468564224. The Rice B dose is copied directly in acres from the older catalogue, not converted from hectares. PHI is the last-treatment-to-harvest interval, not re-entry.
No per-litre or tank dose has been calculated from area rates. An unknown cell does not mean zero or unrestricted use.
Rice A covers clearly matching generic targets, not leaf folder: the generic table prints leaf hopper. Rice B is leaf folder only, supported by the older exact-formulation catalogue at 400–600 ml/acre and 32 days PHI. Its water, concentration and application route remain held.
Cotton B PHI is held: the older Sonic Flo catalogue gives 6 days for bollworms, while CIB&RC gives 7. Resolve this difference on the current supplied pack; do not choose either value yourself. Cotton A sucking pests retain the matching 6-day reference.
The older catalogue lists cabbage 320–400 ml/acre, chilli 400 ml/acre, cotton sucking pests 600 ml/acre, cotton bollworms 800 ml/acre and sugarcane 600–800 ml/acre. These are historical branded references, not substitutions for the qualified hectare table or a current-pack programme.
Sugarcane PHI is stated as 270 days in CIB&RC and 9 months in the older catalogue. The month value has not been converted or treated as permission to shorten the interval. Confirm the current label.
The manufacturer’s general foliar feature does not establish a route for every crop, especially sugarcane. No foliar, soil or other route is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the exact product: Confirm the brand, active ingredient, strength and formulation on the supplied Indian pack.
- Confirm the crop and target: Use only the crop–pest pairing authorised by that current pack; a formulation-level reference does not establish brand approval.
- Obtain the complete programme: Confirm method, crop stage, dose, water, equipment, repeat limit, re-entry and harvest restriction before treatment.
- Follow local restrictions: Check applicable state restrictions as well as the supplied label. Do not improvise a new application route or tank mix.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Sonic Flo contain?Fipronil 5% SC. Check the exact strength and formulation on the supplied pack.
Which crop uses are listed here?Rice, chilli, cabbage, sugarcane and cotton, with the crop-specific targets shown.
Can I use the reference table as a complete application plan?No. The numeric references are for the formulation, not a verified current branded leaflet. Confirm the crop-specific method, timing and other missing directions before use.
Why are there two cotton rows?The references separate sucking pests and bollworms. The sucking-pest PHI is 6 days; bollworm PHI is held because the older branded catalogue says 6 days and CIB&RC says 7. Resolve it against the current pack.
Is a universal tank mix or repeat interval recommended?No. Compatibility, repeat interval and maximum number of applications must come from the current pack and qualified local advice; they are not assumed here.
