-Company Continues to Lead the Biologicals Industry with Third-Generation Nitrogen Product Line -Product to Be Available to Growers in the United States

Pivot Bio, one of the world's leading innovative agtech companies, announced that it has launched a new product in its line of innovative ag solutions for growers in the U.S. Pivot Bio PROVEN® G3 will join the company's notable Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40 nitrogen-fixing solution, which has been successfully used by growers on millions of acres to date. PROVEN G3, the company's third-generation nitrogen solution for corn, will be commercially available in 2026, pending state registrations. This marks a major advancement in nitrogen innovation, as PROVEN G3 is the first PROVEN product with multiple modes of action and significant benefits to American farmers, who work hard to feed, clothe and fuel the world.

"Built to enhance our industry-leading and proprietary gene-edited nitrogen-fixing technology, PROVEN G3 adds an exclusive microbe blend that increases nutrient uptake and nitrogen-use efficiency. PROVEN G3 consistently drives improved nitrogen production, seamlessly enhancing farmers' current nitrogen programs and yield potential," said Ryan Van Roekel, Ph.D., commercial agronomy leader for Pivot Bio.

"Pivot Bio realizes every farm presents unique challenges, including varying soil types, field conditions and nutrient-management approaches," said Van Roekel. "PROVEN G3 was designed by some of the top scientists and agronomists working side by side with growers to adapt to these differences, allowing farmers to customize timing and placement to maximize efficiency, productivity and profitability across their diverse acres. As a weatherproof and most efficient source of nitrogen per pound, PROVEN G3 seamlessly integrates into current fertility programs."

With PROVEN G3, the company will continue its industry-leading research program with notable colleges and universities and will be completing the largest farmer demo in Pivot Bio's history, spanning 300-plus locations, demonstrating the performance and consistency of PROVEN G3 at scale.

This research will join recent peer-reviewed research from Wisconsin and Purdue universities, published in Scientific Reports, confirming that Pivot Bio's gene-edited microbes successfully fix nitrogen from the air and deliver it directly to plant roots, even in the presence of synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, a three-year study from the University of Illinois further validates Pivot Bio's products as a reliable third source of nitrogen for corn. The research demonstrates that crops utilizing Pivot Bio's gene-edited technology absorb more nitrogen —including nitrogen derived from the atmosphere — helping farmers implement multi-mode nitrogen plans for improved efficiency and productivity.

In addition to this latest advancement for corn, the company also recently announced a new product launch for cotton — a first for the cotton market — with CERT-N™.

About the Technology:
Not all nitrogen-fixing microbes perform the same. Traditional or "native," non-gene-edited microbes stop fixing nitrogen when other nitrogen sources are present, limiting their effectiveness in real-world field conditions. Pivot Bio's proprietary gene-edited technology sets a new standard. As the only company with patented gene-edited nitrogen-fixing microbes, Pivot Bio ensures its microbes continue working during key growth stages, even in the presence of synthetic or organic fertilizers.

With a growing number of biological products entering the market, Pivot Bio's product portfolio stands apart, built on a foundation of exclusive, patent-protected innovation that no other company can replicate. Backed by rigorous research and real-world testing, this technology helps farmers protect against nitrogen loss, sustain top-end yield potential and improve efficiency, seamlessly integrating into existing fertility plans.

About PROVEN G3: PROVEN G3 is powered by Pivot Bio's patented gene-edited technology and introduces a new proprietary microbe blend, working through three distinct modes of action to enhance nitrogen fixation, and optimize nutrient uptake and nitrogen use efficiency.

1. Boosting crop growth by increasing the uptake of critical nutrients.

Helps mobilize additional nutrients, such as iron and manganese, maximizing plant uptake.
2. Feeding nitrogen directly to the roots daily via the only patented gene-edited nitrogen-fixing microbe that continues to supply nitrogen even when other nitrogen is present.

3. Amplifying yield potential via greater plant health and driving enhanced nitrogen-use efficiency.

Supports biomass growth and overall plant health, ultimately driving greater yield potential.
This next-generation innovation reinforces Pivot Bio's commitment to delivering more predictable and efficient nitrogen solutions that work seamlessly alongside farmers' existing practices.
