Microbial-Based Nitrogen Fertilizer for Crops

Developed by Pivot Bio, a sustainable agricultural company that uses microbes to deliver nitrogen to plants as an alternative to synthetic fertilizers. Pivot Bio’s technology pinpoints a microbe natural to a crop’s specific microbiome with the genetic code for nitrogen fixation. All genetic changes to the microbe are within its genome and applied during the planting phase, where they bind to the root and continuously fix nitrogen throughout the growing season.
