This document discusses how robust soil microbial populations benefit crops. It states that crops grown on soil with optimal biology will yield more abundantly because soil biology is required to release minerals for plant absorption. It also notes that abundant bacterial populations are needed to achieve abundant fungal populations, but fertilizer and tillage practices often suppress soil biology. Maintaining strong soil biology through practices like using microbial inoculants can help crops yield better by improving soil health and nutrient availability.

2. We believe
crops that are

more abundantly.

3. Soil biology is

populations.

5. In most soils,
biology is
suppressed by
fertilizer
application and
tillage practices

6. Without

7. Microbial

8. Without

less effective

9. Without biology
crops don’t
have the energy
and vigor
required for a
robust yield

10. How do I

Application rates and timing
Rejuvenate is a blend of molasses and humic acid. It is used to promote microbiology, and to speed up
decomposition of crop residue and improve soil tilth. This product is intended for soil applications and should only
be used according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Spray on cover crops before incorporation at a rate of 2 gallons per acre. Spray on crop residues at a rate of 3
gallons per acre as a supplement to a regular fertilizer program. For soil with little or no residue or cover at a rate
of 6-8 quarts per acre. For heavier residue cover such as corn or beans, apply 2-3 gallons per acre. For soils low
in microbial activity, add a biological inoculant. For fruit and vegetable production, rates may be increased to apply
up to 5 gallons per acre.
Handling: Store in cool dry area out of direct sunlight. This product has been tested to store safely down to 35°F.
Crystallization or sedimentation may occur below 35°F or above 95° F. Shake or stir before use, especially when
near empty to dissolve the residue on the bottom of the drum/bottle. Do not pre-mix or store in diluted form.
Always use product within 8 hours of diluting. All foliar sprays perform best when applied early morning or late
afternoon.
When tank mixing: A jar test is recommended: Prepare a small amount of the proposed mix and allow it to stand
in a glass jar over night observing for signs of incompatibility. Ideally, a sample of the test mix should then be
sprayed on a small area of the target crop and observed for 3 to 4 days for any phytotoxic effects. Agitation is the
key to usability of this product. AEA products involve tiny particles which are far too small to clog filters, however if
they are inadequately diluted or agitated before and during application there is a possibility of problems with spray
equipment. Consider using an eductor nozzle to agitate prior to use. Compatibility and/or performance cannot be
guaranteed when combined with other products.
