AB  - Cover crops (CC) are an important low-input strategy in sustainable agricultural sys-tems. The impact of different CC (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale, common vetch + winter oats and field pea + winter oats), organic mulch, control treatment-fallow, and bio-fertilizer (BF) application, on yield and quality of sweet maize kernel was evaluated. CC biomass was higher in mixtures: field pea + winter oats, and common vetch + winter oats, as well as in fodder kale. Kernel yield and its chemical composition varied significantly by CC, BF, year, and their interaction. Organic mulch enhanced the concentration of sugars and glutathione in maize kernel. BF increased kernel yield, the concentration of sugars, vitamin C, Mg, Fe, Zn, and reduced phytate concentration. The highest Mg and Mn concentration in maize kernel was achieved with fodder kale, Zn concentration with common vetch + winter oats + BF, and Fe concentration with winter oats. The same treatments expressed the highest impact on variability in concentration of the phytate, phenolics, and yellow pigment, thus affecting further bio-availability of essential elements. Results indicate that in a semi-arid climate, under rain-fed conditions, CC such as fodder kale and winter oats + common vetch could enhance sweet maize productivity and kernel quality, serving as an important part of a sustainable cropping system, to facilitate food security.

AB  - Systems that include cover crops are an important low-input strategy in sustainable and organic agricultural production. The impact of different cover crops (common vetch, field pea, winter oats and fodder kale), their combinations (common vetch + winter oats and field pea + winter oats), control treatments (dead organic mulch and fallow), and the application of bio-fertilizer on the concentration of sugars in sweet maize kernel was evaluated. A field experiment was carried out in 2013/14-2015/16 growing seasons, at the Maize Research Institute in Zemun Polje. After cutting, green biomass of the cover crops was immediately incorporated in the soil. Half of the elementary plot was infested with the bio-fertilizer (BF) - Uniker, containing the strains of cellulolytic and proteolytic bacteria to support the mineralization of crop residues. In both experimental years, the preceding crop was winter wheat. The main crop (ZPSC 421su) was sown in the middle of May. The seeds were sown at the arrangement of 70 cm between rows and 22 cm between plants in the row (65,000 plants ha-1). The content of sucrose, D-glucose and D-fructose was determined from the fresh samples spectrophotometrically, using the enzymatic assay kit R-BIOPHARM AG (Cat. Nr. 10 716 260 035) and then calculated as percent of dry weight. Concentration of sugars in sweet maize kernel across the three-year period varied significantly under the influence of cover crops, bio-fertilizer, meteorological conditions (year) and their interaction. Only concentration of fructose was not statistically significant under the influence of the biofertilizer and interaction of year x biofertilizer. The content of sucrose was the highest in maize kernel in variants with leguminous crops, both individually and in mixtures with oats. It is especially important to point out the increased efficiency of biofertilizer application in individual cover crops on increase of sucrose content. The highest glucose content was measured in the fodder kale variant and mixtures of legumes and oats (without biofertilizer), while in other variants this trend was absent. The highest fructose content was measured in mixtures (without the use of biofertilizers), while the efficiency of biofertilizers was most pronounced in individual cover crops and the control variant. Organic mulch also enhanced concentration of sugars in sweet maize kernel, but in a lesser degree. Results indicate that in semi-arid climate, under rain-fed conditions, cover crops can enhance sugar concentration in sweet maize kernel, serving as an important part of a sustainable cropping system to facilitate food security.

AB  - This research aimed to determine the effects of different cover crops and application of bio-fertilizer on dynamic of nitrogen in the soil and sweet maize yield. Also, we evaluated the effect of fall-winter species (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale) and a mixture of vetch and field pea with oats used as cover crops, as such as dead organic mulch and traditional variant, without coverage on biomass, chlorophyll and protein content in leaves and grain of main crop. Biomass production and N uptake by cover crops ranged from 4.25 to 90.20 kg ha(-1) and from 0.34 to 133.80 kg ha(-1) N, respectively, depending on cover crop type. At harvest soil nitrate content in treatments with cover crops was 50-90% lower than in the control, reducing spring N leaching risk. Residual mineral N significantly increased with application of microbiological fertilizer. The chlorophyll content of the main crop was significantly lower in treatments without cover crops. Consequently, sweet maize yield was the highest in fodder kale and field pea (7263.83 and 7177.27 kg ha(-1)) treatments, but the smallest in winter oat and common vetch (6802.47 and 6184.14 kg ha(-1)). In terms of all investigated traits, particularly grain yield, cover crops and microbiological fertilizer expressed more efficiency in the dry year. It could be concluded that N content should be controlled effectively by sowing main crops after planting of cover crops in biological farming systems in a semiarid region.
