Agtech startup Pivot Bio's sustainable nitrogen-producing microbes for corn have been shown to improve average corn output by 7.7 bushels more per acre than traditional synthetic fertilisers while also reducing the effect of leaching. The research was published in Nature Plants. DCVC (Data Collective), who led Pivot Bio’s seed and Series A rounds, continued its support of the startup. Furthermore, given that the liquid product is made from naturally-occurring microbes, it is sustainable and doesn't produce nitrous oxide pollutants caused by the decomposition of traditional synthetic fertilisers.
