Pivot Bio highlighted 2019 performance data for its alternative to synthetic nitrogen fertilizer during Commodity Classic.
Pivot Bio PROVEN is the first nitrogen-producing microbial
product for US corn farmers and can replace 25 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer.
Mark Reisinger, vice president of commercial operations,
says Pivot Bio PROVEN performed despite wet conditions in 2019. He says corn
growers now have a source of nitrogen that is 100 percent available to the corn
plant as compared to losing about half of their nitrogen when using synthetic fertilizers.
The 2019 performance report includes more than 5 million data points collected across thousands of acres, hundreds of soil types, nearly 100 commercial farms, and six Midwest land grant universities.
