Guaranteed analysis
Ammonium-sulfate-based soil surfactant.
What it does
AERATE is a soil surfactant that breaks surface tension in the profile so water and air move through tight, crusted, or compacted ground instead of standing on top. It is a one-year tactical fix that opens the soil while a calcium program does the 3 to 5 year structural rebuild underneath it.
What it will not do
Only where water sits
AERATE pays on tight, crusted, water-holding ground. On soil that already drains and breathes, it returns nothing. We put it on a problem, not on every acre.
Trial data and expected range
AERATE trials averaged +3.3 bu corn and +2.2 bu soybeans where infiltration was the limiter.

- Caveat:
- Pays where water actually sits. Not on free-draining ground.
Tank-mix and handling
AERATE is drum and jug only and ignores the acreage tier rule. It is a surfactant, not a nutrient, so do not rate it like fertilizer. Broadcast default 12 to 15 oz/ac; in-row 3 to 5 oz/ac.
AERATE usually ships inside the corn in-furrow reset. Build the whole program off your soil test and see it in context.
