There is a lot of noise in the ag sector about biologicals. In a meeting with reporters in Fargo Tuesday, Pivot Bio CEO Chris Abbott said the company’s nitrogen fixation products are different. “Our products by naturally fixing nitrogen with microbes ; we focus on the source of the problem, providing nitrogen in a better, more predictable weather-proof way.” In the past year, Pivot Bio introduced its on-seed product. “Our first product was a liquid in-furrow that was very successful, but a lot of our new growth is coming from the on-seed product,” said Abbott. “If I can plant my same variety in the same way with my same high-speed planter while 40 pounds of nitrogen in my bag, that’s a powerful thing.” The microbes have a 60-day life span on the seed after it is treated.
