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® delivers 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® increases grain yield, plant biomass and plant dry weight, both in reduced nitrogen practice and 100% nitrogen checks.

What Farmers Have to Say

Nitrogen is extremely important to a wheat crop, but the issue with it, especially in our northern climate, is application of that nitrogen is extremely difficult and we lose more than we really utilize within that crop. RETURN® helps me sleep at night knowing that the nitrogen that we’re putting out there is going to stay in the soil no matter if we get a huge rainstorm or stay dry all year.

Instead of hauling tons and tons and tons of commercial fertilizer, we can use considerably less product on the whole farm. It speeds up our seeding operation and it’s a lot easier for me. Less expense, more profit. That’s what we’re after. Ed Goodian – Box Elder, MT

I’m using Pivot Bio RETURN® because I want a product that utilizes the soil and the environment to produce nitrogen naturally, so that I don’t have to add commercial fertilizers. Thomas Ridder – Marienthal, KS
