Nitrogen for Sorghum & Small Grains
Pivot Bio RETURN®
With increasing commodity and global market pressure on corn and soybeans, many farmers are introducing smaller grains to their rotations, proving their value as food and feed ingredients. With RETURN®, farmers can reduce their reliance on synthetic nitrogen and deliver steady nutrition to small grain crops, including sorghum, barley, millet, oats, sunflower and spring wheat.
A Smart Investment
Available on-seed or in-furrow, RETURN® can replace up to 25 lbs per acre of synthetic nitrogen, delivering consistent nutrition without loss and proven ROI.
A Better Nitrogen
The microbes in RETURN® 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
RETURN® has been proven to deliver increased grain yield, plant biomass and plant dry weight, both in reduced nitrogen practice and 100% nitrogen checks.
How to Buy Pivot Bio
Pivot Bio has an extensive network of sales representatives working side-by-side with field agronomists to ensure farmers get the most value from our products. Many of our reps are farmers themselves who understand the challenges of modern agriculture and are committed to solutions that drive profitability and sustainability on the farm.
N-OVATOR™ for Farmers
Using Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen is better for plants and the environment, eliminating nitrogen leaching and volatilization into the atmosphere. We created the N-OVATOR™ program to incentivize and reward farmers for their synthetic nitrogen reductions and environmental impact.
Product Stewardship
Available for application on-seed and in-furrow, our biofertilizer works with existing farming practices and seamlessly integrates with planting. Because our microbial nitrogen is a living organism, farmers should follow our handling, storage, and usage guidelines to ensure they get the most value from their nutrient investment.
We use Pivot Bio RETURN® 30 units of nitrogen throughout the whole growing season. If we don't have enough down, we have that cushion that Pivot Bio RETURN® helps us with. It makes it so we can have one less pass. With Pivot Bio, we can be a little bit more efficient with our nitrogen.

On sorghum, we run Pivot Bio RETURN® in furrow. It sticks to the roots. It helps the sorghum fix some nitrogen. But we've also seen in our two years of trying it on corn, that you also get bigger stocks and increased root mass.
Dane Whitley - Ness City, KS
I want to use a product that is symbiotic with the soil. That works with the soil, that's not just laying there waiting for the plant to take it up. I want it to improve the health of the soil. And if I can keep improving the health of the soil and use less commercial fertilizers and let the soil and the plant do its own thing, then that's what draws me to Pivot Bio.

NLIGHTEN® Your Bottom Line
Pivot Bio’s NLIGHTEN® in-furrow tank system mounts on your existing planter to deliver the precise amount of microbial nitrogen, right at the root, on every acre. Through the NLIGHTEN® equipment reimbursement program, farmers can offset the cost of in-furrow equipment when they use PROVEN® 40 or RETURN®, making it easier to replace synthetic nitrogen with our more predictable and sustainable crop nutrition.
