Trials were conducted during 2012 to evaluate the impact of spray adjuvants on the efficacy of selected insecticides and acaracides.  These trials targeted thrips, tarnished plant bug, and spidermites.  Some trials were conducted during rain free periods.  While others were conducted during periods when rain fall occurred soon after application or were subjected to simulated rain fall events.
