How did extreme weather conditions put N programs to the test for Texas cotton growers? After heavy rainfall led to nitrogen loss, agronomist Will Pagel and his team found that Pivot Bio-treated cotton showed bigger, healthier plants and a 100-pound lint increase in one trial. For cotton growers, CERT-N provides an additional source of nitrogen to help manage weather-related losses, support crop growth and protect yield potential when conditions get tough. #PivotBio #CERTN #Cotton

Farmers make a difference beyond the field. In Seward, Nebraska, Paul Duer and Tyson Hegeholz are known for more than farming. From volunteering with emergency services to supporting local schools, fundraising and lending a hand to neighbors, they help make their rural communities stronger. We're proud to recognize Paul and Tyson through our Rooted in Thanks program, celebrating farmers who give back. In their honor, Pivot Bio is making donations to two organizations they selected: the Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department and Our Redeemer Lutheran School. Thank you, Paul and Tyson, for all you do for your communities! #RootedInThanks #ThanksForFarmers #Agriculture

When nitrogen loss varies across the field, protecting yield potential takes the right strategy. Listen as agronomist Allen Parrish discusses how in this grower’s field, PROVEN G3 added another mode of action to help support ear development and kernel counts, while PPFMS helps move nutrients from stalk to grain to support grain weight. For growers, it’s another way to manage nitrogen variability, protect yield potential and get more from your fertility program. As harvest results start rolling in soon from these fields, be sure to head over to pivotsprovenit.com to see final results. #farming #farmers #farmlife #agriculture #illinois

For this strip-till grower, incorporating pre-plant nitrogen wasn’t an option, making efficient in-season nitrogen delivery even more important. PROVEN G3 provides a weatherproof source of nitrogen right from the start of the season to help support crop growth and nutrient availability, while working alongside the grower’s existing fertility program. For growers, that means another tool to improve nitrogen efficiency, make fertility work harder and protect yield potential.

What's the most important management factor a corn farmer can control when it comes to yield? 🌽 Nitrogen. After more than 40 years studying corn physiology, Dr. Fred Below of the University of Illinois knows just how important nitrogen is to crop growth and productivity. For #GlobalFertilizerDay26, we're sharing a conversation from our One Million Thanks Buddy Seat, where Dr. Below joined his former graduate student and now Pivot Bio colleague, Logan Woodward, Ph.D., to talk about the science behind better nitrogen management. Because when it comes to growing corn, nitrogen is king. 👑 #MadePossibleByFertilizer #PivotBio #Corn

Right source. Right place. Right time. 🌱 Three of the 4Rs of nutrient stewardship, and three reasons University of Illinois crop physiologist Dr. Fred Below sees value in Pivot Bio's PROVEN microbial nitrogen technology. ✅ Right source: Plant-available ammonium. ✅ Right place: Nitrogen fixed directly at the roots. ✅ Right time: Nitrogen supplied during the crop's critical period of peak uptake. In this special #GlobalFertilizerDay26 conversation from our One Million Thanks Buddy Seat, Dr. Below explains how innovative nitrogen-fixing technology can complement conventional fertility programs while aligning with important nutrient management principles. Better science. Smarter crop nutrition. More possibilities for farmers. #MadePossibleByFertilizer #PivotBio #4Rs
