Rain/Water immunity of various insecticides/fungicides

**Lee** · June 20, 2014

So, Ive decided to be a little more proactive about foliage diseases this year and have sprayed 1/2 my plants with
daconil.
Also, I recently found a few tomato worms (evil,evil things!) and dusted the entire tomato patch with BT(Dipel).
Finally, I've used some Neem oil spray on cukes and beans.

Needless to say, it rained last night.
What has been your experience with the effectiveness of any of the three mentioned "-cides" after a rain?
Does the rain essentially wash everything off, and you must
reapply?

Thanks in advance!
