Farmers can replace a portion of their traditional fertilizer with Pivot Bio RETURN® to increase nitrogen efficiency and grow stronger plants while maintaining yields.

A Smart Investment

Available on-seed or in-furrow, RETURN® can provide consistent nutrition without loss and with a proven ROI.

A Better Nitrogen

The microbes in RETURN® convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form, providing a reliable 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® delivers increased grain yield, plant biomass and plant dry weight, both in reduced nitrogen practice and 100% nitrogen checks.

What Farmers Have to Say

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. Kyvan Keller – Conrad, MT

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.
