Nitrogen for Corn

Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40

The world’s most produced grain crop, corn is also the most dependent on nitrogen fertilizer. Available on-seed or in-furrow, PROVEN® 40 provides a more predictable, productive nitrogen for corn, delivering steady nutrition at the root throughout the most critical growth stages, regardless of weather and soil.

Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40 consistently and efficiently replaces up to 40 pounds per acre of synthetic fertilizer while maintaining yields.

  • A Smart Investment

    A 2022 Precision Planting® study shows that when 100% nitrogen rate is reduced by 45 lbs N and replaced with PROVEN® 40, revenue increased by over $12/acre.

  • A Better Nitrogen

    The microbes in PROVEN® 40 convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form, providing a source of the critical nutrient that stays put all season, regardless of weather or growing region, with no loss due to runoff, leaching or volatilization.

  • A Proven Performer

    PROVEN 40® addresses corn nitrogen deficiency and, as shown in national nitrogen studies, delivered 11% more in-plant nitrogen and 10% more plant biomass as compared to standard grower practices.

What Farmers Have to Say

  • Photo of Pivot Bio Farmer

    Pivot Bio has single-handedly shown me the most ROI on my farm in the last five years of anything I've tried. If I can apply 40 less pounds of nitrogen on 1,500 acres of corn, we're talking thousands of gallons of fertilizer. We're talking passes and trips over the field. We're talking more time with my family and still seeing ROI. That's what really matters to me.

    To me, confidence is built over years. We've tested it for years on our own farm. We don't have to take someone else's word for it, and we've trialed PROVEN 40 on all the different types of soils in northwest Missouri. Seeing the different chlorophyll levels, different plant weights, and in some cases, differences in yield, that’s what has built my confidence over the years.

    The plant health was way better, the tops were in the corn, and there were more leaves on the plant at harvest. I've seen that it works. I know that it works. It's just part of our fertility plan at this point. Whatever the weather is, the nitrogen's there for us.
