Pivot Bio, a Griggsville-based agrotech company, has partnered with Logan Agri-Service, Inc., an independent supplier of agricultural crop inputs, to expand the availability of its microbial nitrogen solution, PROVEN 40. This collaboration marks an important step in enhancing nutrient management solutions for corn farmers across Logan Ag’s extensive retail network.
Broadening Access to Microbial Nitrogen Solutions
Through this agreement, Pivot Bio’s PROVEN 40, a microbial nitrogen solution developed using Pivot Bio’s patented gene-edited technology, will now be offered at all Logan Ag locations, which span multiple facilities in Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. The microbial nitrogen solution utilizes patented gene-edited technology to provide an efficient nitrogen source, offering a sustainable supplement to traditional fertilizers during critical crop growth stages. Farmers will benefit from this solution’s compatibility with Logan Ag’s established range of products and services.
“By combining their deep agronomic expertise and extensive reach with our proprietary technology, we’re creating more opportunities for farmers to optimize nutrient management and strengthen their operations for long-term resilience.”
Environmental and Economic Benefits
As per the company, the adoption of PROVEN 40 is positioned to address both agricultural efficiency and environmental sustainability. By reducing nitrogen loss through leaching and volatilization, the product helps mitigate environmental impacts associated with traditional nitrogen fertilizers. In addition, studies suggest that PROVEN 40 increases in-plant nitrogen by approximately 11% and improves plant biomass by 10%, contributing to healthier crops and potentially higher yields.
Economic benefits are also evident, with reports indicating that farmers can achieve revenue increases of over $12 per acre due to improved nitrogen use efficiency.
