Meeting the Needs of Today’s Growers
A purpose-built solution for increased nitrogen efficiency.
The Potential for Better
Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen changes everything, complementing a farmer’s fertilizer management plans by delivering nitrogen directly to the plant’s roots at the right time.
The Technology
A Purpose-Built Solution
Pivot Bio’s microbial nitrogen puts nitrogen where the plant needs it so that it’s there when the plant needs it. Our gene-edited microbes convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia directly on the plant’s root system.
The Products
Results That Count
As long as a plant has roots, it has access to Pivot Bio’s nitrogen source. Pivot Bio products help ensure crops have the right source of nitrogen, at the right place and time, from the right source, enhancing better nutrient uptake early on and setting crops up for future success.
