Agricultural technology company Pivot Bio has reduced prices and increased production of its nitrogen-fixing products as U.S. farmers confront soaring fertilizer costs and supply challenges during spring planting season.
The company is responding to volatile global nitrogen markets, where prices have spiked dramatically in recent months. Pivot Bio’s products are manufactured domestically at its St. Louis facility and can be shipped to farmers within 24 hours.
“Farmers are under immense pressure, and our role is to stand alongside them as they prepare for spring planting,” said Chris Abbott, CEO of Pivot Bio. “We have made the decision to lower our prices, versus raise them, out of respect to the growers who need our support now more than ever.”
The company’s nitrogen-fixing technology provides an alternative to synthetic fertilizers. It delivers nitrogen directly to plant roots through microbial processes.
In field trials, farmers using the company’s PROVEN G3 product for corn replaced an average of 33 pounds of synthetic nitrogen per acre while achieving a 2.1 bushel-per-acre yield advantage. Win rates exceeded 90 percent across varying weather and soil conditions.
Cotton trials using CERT-N across more than 30,000 acres showed that farmers who replaced up to 20 percent of synthetic nitrogen achieved average lint yield increases exceeding 50 pounds per acre, generating returns above $30 per acre.
Pivot Bio launched four new products in 2025, including formulations for corn, cotton, grain sorghum, and a dry version for multiple crop types.
The expansion underscores the company’s effort to provide farmers with a domestic nitrogen source amid global supply uncertainty.
