Pivot Bio CERT-N™ spoon-feeds nitrogen to the roots, setting crops up for early square retention, higher boll counts and healthier plants at defoliation time.
In Pivot Bio’s 2024 large-scale farm trials across eight states, fields treated with CERT-N replaced an average of 20% of their normal nitrogen program and saw an average yield gain of 50 pounds of lint per acre and a $35 boost in ROI.
Apply
Growers apply Pivot Bio microbes at planting as a seed treatment.
Colonize
Microbes colonize roots, feed on substances from the roots, and product nitrogen.
Grow
As the plant grows, so does the microbial community, increasing nitrogen delivery as needed.
Fix
Nitrogen is spoon-fed at the roots, avoiding any leaching, runoff, or losses.“It’s been a true team effort to bring CERT-N™ to a limited number of growers across the cotton belt for the 2025 crop season. Being able to evaluate CERT-N™ hands-on last season at a farm scale—using farm production equipment—was an incredible experience. Seeing the tangible benefits, it brought to the crop, which resulted in a positive ROI for the partner farms that tested CERT-N™, was truly rewarding!”
