Pivot Bio Announces New Product Launch for U.S. Cotton

Published

on

Pivot Bio’s latest technology is now accessible to growers and partners across the U.S. Cotton Belt.

WAYZATA, Minn., Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pivot Bio, one of the world’s most innovative agtech companies, announced today that it has commercially launched a new product for cotton crops in the United States. The product will be available through Pivot Bio’s distribution partners for a select group of growers this season, with a full commercial launch for the 2026 planting season.

CERT-N™ will join other Pivot Bio products including PROVEN® and RETURN®, and a soon-to-be-launched next generation product in corn for the 2026 season. Pivot Bio’s patent-protected technology provides a steady source of nitrogen to cotton plants from emergence to harvest, providing weatherproof nitrogen and helping the crop reach its full yield and fiber quality potential.

Pivot Bio produces the only gene-edited, nitrogen-fixing products on the market. This means Pivot Bio products are the only biological products that deliver nitrogen directly to the roots, even in the presence of synthetic fertilizers and manure. CERT-N™ is the only gene-edited nitrogen fixer available in cotton. Applied as a seed treatment, it spoon-feeds nitrogen to the roots, setting crops up for early square retention, higher boll counts and healthier plants at defoliation time. In Pivot Bio’s 2024 large-scale farm trials across eight states, fields treated with CERT-N™ replaced an average of 20% of their normal nitrogen program and saw an average yield gain of 50 pounds of lint per acre and a $35 boost in ROI.

“We are certainly excited to announce this latest innovation in crop fertility,” said Chris Abbott, CEO, Pivot Bio. “Growers have been asking us to provide a product for cotton, and we are proud to make CERT-N™ available to complement their nutrition program. The results we have seen in independent research and directly with growers have been strong, and we are confident that cotton growers will see a strong benefit and value by adding this product to their fertility plan. Additionally, we have a team of agronomists who stand ready to work with growers and distribution partners to ensure they have a best-in-class experience and results.  Our innovation pipeline remains full, and we look forward to announcing our next generation product for the 2026 marketplace soon.”

“A huge thank you to the farms that have placed their trust in Pivot Bio and partnered with us on this exciting product offering in cotton,” said Jeff Hollowell, Pivot Bio agronomist and cotton expert. “It’s been a true team effort to bring CERT-N™ to a limited number of growers across the cotton belt for the 2025 crop season. Being able to evaluate CERT-N™ hands-on last season at a farm scale—using farm production equipment—was an incredible experience. Seeing the tangible benefits, it brought to the crop, which resulted in a positive ROI for the partner farms that tested CERT-N™, was truly rewarding!”

CERT-N™ is now available for sale to growers and partners in select Cotton Belt states. In 2025, Pivot Bio will conduct demo fields across the region to showcase the benefits of this new technology as part of a limited commercial launch. A full commercial launch is slated for 2026.

“Airbags Save” Campaign Returns for Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

Comoto Family of Brands expands safety campaign with support from Progressive Insurance® and Mips®, to drive awareness of wearable airbags and other innovative protection technology

PHILADELPHIA, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Comoto – the parent company of America’s leading motorcycle gear retailers, including Cycle Gear, J&P Cycles, RevZilla and REVER – is rolling out the second year of their Airbags Save initiative this May in support of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The countrywide campaign is designed to raise awareness about wearable airbag technology and its role in reducing serious injuries among riders.

Launched in 2024, Airbags Save has helped introduce thousands of riders to advanced airbag protection systems available to motorcyclists. Making these products accessible to try on and learn about at any of the 163 Cycle Gear locations in the US allows riders to see exactly why an airbag is just as important as a helmet when outfitting themselves. Since the launch of Airbags Save, Comoto’s new unit sales have grown over 75% in the past 12 months and 117% since March 1st of this year (over 1,600 units).

“Airbags Save has been incredibly successful in bringing awareness of this technology to the public,” explained Stevan Popovich, President of Cycle Gear. “Most people don’t even realize the technology exists, but we’ve continued to see adoption skyrocket. Our message is resonating, and it’s making a real difference in rider safety.”

Joining the campaign this year as presenting sponsor is Progressive, the country’s leader in motorcycle insurance. Their support in raising awareness for this pivotal technology to aid motorcycle riders is a testament to their commitment to the community and improving rider safety while on the road through the Airbags Save initiative.

“At Progressive, protection and safety are a priority,” said Eric Doubler, Progressive Recreational Lines Business Leader. “As the leading insurer of motorcycle insurance, we strive not only to educate motorcycle riders on having the right coverage, but to also provide opportunities for enhanced safety measures. Collaborating with Comoto on the ‘Airbags Save’ campaign allows us to do just that.”

In addition to wearable airbags, Airbags Save also highlights the critical role of helmet safety. As part of that effort, Comoto has partnered with Mips®, a global leader in helmet-based safety, incorporating Mips® technology into the Sedici line of helmets. Mips® safety system consists of a low-friction layer that is designed to allow a multi-directional movement inside the helmet, intended to help reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts that can lead to concussions or other brain injuries.

“For us, safety is a first priority, and our team works tirelessly against our vision of reducing head injuries, and saving more lives,” explains Max Strandwitz, Mips® CEO. “We’re happy to be partnering with Comoto on this very important subject of motorcycle safety, and in particular helmet safety, further advancing the Sedici line of helmets.”

With so many advancements in rider safety, Comoto believes there’s a new generation of riders ready to find their passion as motorcyclists. As such, Comoto has also partnered with the Motorcycle Industry Council for the Ride With Us campaign, which aims to make motorcycling more accessible by removing common barriers such as licensing, gear knowledge and community connection. Through hands-on experiences like RIDE Day events, participants can try riding a motorcycle in a controlled environment with certified coaches and safety gear provided.
