What a great primer on the evolving science of soil organic matter. Dives into details on Carbon, Microbes, Suberin. As described, soil science is in the middle of a paradigm shift quantamagazine.org/a-soil-science…

Are microbes important for soil carbon stability? We observed a clear link of stable carbon with microbial biomass, network connectivity, and microbial keystone taxa. See our new paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… Samiran Banerjee

Another great evening at the IA Ag Leaders event! Proud to represent Pivot Bio and honor the service of so many giving time and talent to make Iowa agriculture a better place. Great to be with Sean Blomgren Gov. Kim Reynolds Roger Underwood, Clayton Nevins Emily Ibach Thomas and Chad Behn

It was fun to sit down with Market Talk a couple weeks ago to discuss what we’re seeing in fields across the country this season. Hint: it’s been wet and hot! Check it out to hear us talk through what this means for our nitrogen and nutrient planning. markettalkag.com/2024/07/05/fri…

Making sure that disruptive and innovative technological advances are delivered to farmers in a timely manner is top of mind for Clayton Nevins (Clayton Nevins). As the New Venture Lead at Pivot Bio, he's using his background in science to help move the ag industry forward.

What can 100 farmers in a room teach you about the future of farming? A whole lot… if you listen. I met with over 100 farmers in Virginia and we talked about the potential of microbes, N fixation, and synthetic biology.

I discussed N on RFDTV: - Aim for synchrony between N availability & corn N demand - N programs are usually most efficient when N is applied in smaller but more frequent apps - Traditional N + Pivot Bio N ensures a portion of N is at the right place & time lnkd.in/gVv9HGrh

Very excited to have this out (and in Nature Geoscience, no less!). We returned to in-field incubations of isotopically enriched litter and pyrogenic OM ten years after inception, and were able to glean some insights into the persistence patterns of the SOM that was formed.

Just a hunch, but I think the preplant ammonium sulfate (100 lbs/ac) is helping in the no-till, cover crop system. Purdue Agronomy Purdue Extension Purdue Agriculture
