Pivot Bio is using microbial nitrogen to make agriculture more sustainable
72% Informative
Pivot Bio has engineered nitrogen-producing microbes to make farming more sustainable.
The company's products are already being used to grow corn, wheat, barley, oats, and other grains across millions of acres of U.S. farmland.
Pivot ’s microbial colonies grow with the plant and produce more nitrogen at exactly the time the plant needs it.
Pivot Bio is selling its microbial nitrogen to farmers across the U.S. and working with smallholder farmers in Kenya .
The microbes live on the surface of the growing root system, eating plant sugars and releasing nitrogen throughout the plant’s life cycle.
Pivot is also extending the product to cotton and says microbes can be a nitrogen source for any type of plant on the planet.
