Spring applied planter solution products influence end of season cover crops

This is a field in Pennsylvania in December 2019.

It appears the section on the left has less residue, and possibly more cover crop growth.

The only difference is that the planter solution used for planting the corn crop in the spring was a product blend (AEA) that enhanced biology (left), as compared to a ‘conventional’ ionic planter solution that suppresses soil biology (right).
