Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
- Nervous System Attack: Fipronil targets the insect's central nervous system by blocking the GABA-gated chloride channels.
- Loss of Control: This blockage stops the "calming" signals in the insect's nerves, causing uncontrollable hyperexcitation, tremors, and paralysis.
- Rapid Mortality: The pest stops feeding almost immediately and dies shortly after contact or ingestion.
Note: Sonic Flo is systemic (moves upwards in the plant) and contact-based, making it effective against hidden pests like stem borers.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 400 - 600 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 3.0 ml | 32 Days |
| Cotton | 600 - 800 ml | 200 L | 3.0 - 4.0 ml | 6 Days |
| Chilli & Cabbage | 320 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1.5 - 2.0 ml | 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. For Sugarcane soil drench, use 1500-2000 ml/acre.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Stem Borers, apply at the early tillering stage or when "Dead Heart" symptoms appear. For sucking pests, apply at the first sign of infestation.
- Mixing: Sonic Flo is a liquid suspension. Shake the bottle well before use. Mix with a small amount of water first, then add to the main tank. It is compatible with most fungicides (e.g., Hexaconazole).
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage of the foliage. For BPH in rice, direct the spray towards the base of the plant.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray during active bee foraging hours (spray in late evening).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Sonic Flo help in plant growth?
Yes. Farmers observe a "Phyto-tonic" effect where treated plants become greener, taller, and more vigorous due to reduced stress and better root health.
2. Can I mix Sonic Flo with other chemicals?
It is compatible with many common fungicides and insecticides. However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline products (like Bordeaux mixture) and always perform a small "jar test" before mixing.
3. Is it effective against termites?
Yes, Fipronil is highly effective against termites in crops like Sugarcane. It works via a "domino effect" where infected termites transfer the poison to the colony.
4. What is the PHI for Rice?
The Pre-Harvest Interval for Rice is 32 days. Do not spray Sonic Flo in the last month before harvest to ensure the grain is safe for export.
5. Is it safe for Honeybees?
Fipronil is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying during full flowering. If necessary, spray in the late evening when bees are not active to minimize impact.
