As with any input in your operation, knowing how to use Pivot Bio microbial fertilizer is key to ensuring efficacy and product performance. Our nitrogen-producing microbes work with your crop to deliver nitrogen throughout the growing season. Because microbes are living organisms, it’s important to handle the products as instructed — whether in-furrow or on-seed — and closely follow recommended guidance on delivery, storage and use.
