Unlocking New Yield Potential with Pivot Bio's Nitrogen-Fixing Solutions

In this Cornelius Seed podcast episode, host Juan talks with Pivot Bio’s Nick Fischer and Alex Obermier about Proven® G3, a third-generation nitrogen product using nitrogen-fixing microbes that continue fixing nitrogen in the presence of synthetic N and continuously release it to the plant. They explain how G3 adds two methylotrophs- one to stimulate bigger roots and one to make nutrients more available- along with results from 300+ full-field trials showing more frequent yield increases versus prior “yield parity” outcomes. The conversation covers new delivery options (on-seed, liquid in-furrow, and a new dry planter-box formulation), mixing and planting windows for the dry product, storage considerations, compatibility guidance, and how the microbes attach to roots, feed on plant exudates, and produce nitrogen through roughly VT-R1.
