Nitrogen for Wheat
Pivot Bio RETURN®
Wheat is highly dependent on nitrogen fertilizers to thrive. With RETURN®, farmers can incorporate a more predictable, productive nitrogen source into their fertilizer management plan. Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen stays at the root when the crop needs it most, regardless of soil type or weather.

Farmers can replace a portion of their traditional fertilizer with Pivot Bio RETURN® to increase nitrogen efficiency and grow stronger plants while maintaining yields.
A Smart Investment
Available on-seed or in-furrow, RETURN® delivers consistent nutrition without loss and proven ROI.
A Better Nitrogen
The microbes in RETURN® convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form, providing a source of the critical nutrient that stays put all season, regardless of weather or growing region, with no loss due to runoff, leaching or volatilization.
A Proven Performer
RETURN® increases grain yield, plant biomass and plant dry weight, both in reduced nitrogen practice and 100% nitrogen checks. 
N-OVATOR™ for Farmers
Using Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen is better for plants and the environment, eliminating nitrogen leaching and volatilization into the atmosphere. We created the N-OVATOR™ program to incentivize and reward farmers for lowering their environmental impact.

Performance DataWhat Farmers Have to Say
Nitrogen is extremely important to a wheat crop, but the issue with it, especially in our northern climate, is application of that nitrogen is extremely difficult and we lose more than we really utilize within that crop. RETURN® helps me sleep at night knowing that the nitrogen that we’re putting out there is going to stay in the soil no matter if we get a huge rainstorm or stay dry all year. Chad Rubbelke – Des Lacs, ND
Instead of hauling tons and tons and tons of commercial fertilizer, we can use considerably less product on the whole farm. It speeds up our seeding operation and it’s a lot easier for me. Less expense, more profit. That’s what we’re after. Ed Goodian – Box Elder, MT
I’m using Pivot Bio RETURN® because I want a product that utilizes the soil and the environment to produce nitrogen naturally, so that I don’t have to add commercial fertilizers. Thomas Ridder – Marienthal, KS
NLIGHTEN® Your Bottom Line
Pivot Bio’s NLIGHTEN® in-furrow tank system mounts on your existing planter to deliver the precise amount of microbial nitrogen, right at the root, on every acre. Through the NLIGHTEN® equipment reimbursement program, farmers can offset the cost of in-furrow equipment when they use PROVEN® 40 or RETURN®, making it easier to incorporate Pivot Bio products into their nitrogen management plans.
