abstract = "Cover crops has important role in sustainability, owing to protection from soil erosion and soil
enrichment with organic matter. Bio-fertilizers are important for increase of soil and crop quality.
The aim of experiment was to examine nutritional quality of sweet maize, sown at experimental
plots after different cover crops: T1 - common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), T2 - winter oats, (Avena
sativa L.), T3 - fodder kale (Brassica oleracea (L.) convar. acephala), T4 - field pea (Pisum
sativum L.) + winter oats, T5 - dead organic mulch, T6 - common vetch + winter oats, T7 - field
pea and control - uncovered during the winter, in combination with bio-fertilizer Uniker, during
2013/2014. Content of main antioxidants: phenolics, glutathione, vitamin C, carotenoids and
phytic acid were determined in technological maturity. The highest content of carotenoids (2.48
μg g-1) was obtained in T1 + Uniker combination, while the highest values of glutathione and
phenolics were in T2 treatment (1927 nmol g-1 and 716 μg g-1, respectively). T3 was
characterized with the highest vitamin C content in combinations with and without Uniker (29.92
and 31.09 mg 100g-1) and control had the highest phytic P content (3.69 mg g-1). Correlation
consigned that increased kernel yield was followed by carotenoid increase and phenolics decrease
in general, while application of Uniker induced increase of Pphy and decrease of vitamin C,
parallel with grain yield increase.",
