Sonic Flo is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Rallis India Limited. It contains 5% w/v of the active ingredient Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide. Fipronil works by blocking the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the insect's nervous system, which leads to paralysis and death.

Sonic Flo is a contact and systemic insecticide, which means that it kills insects when they come into contact with it or when they ingest it. It also has a residual activity of up to 21 days, which means that it remains active on the plant surface for a period of time after application. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling pests in a wide range of crops, including paddy, cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
