Cover crops play an important role in low-input cropping systems, increasing the
use of agro-ecosystem services. Due to the lack of information about the impact
of cover crops and bio-fertilizers on popcorn maize (Zea mays everta Sturt.)
growth and yield quality, especially the popping volume and nutritive quality,
such as concentrations of protein and mineral elements, this research aimed to
provide essential information. The interrelation between popcorn maize
productivity and quality with important groups of soil microorganisms presents
additional novelty. The results demonstrated that field pea is a beneficial cover
crop, especially when combined with a bio-fertilizer, supporting the
accumulation of maize biomass, chlorophyll, yield potential, and the
concentrations of protein, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Zn. In addition, field pea residues
promoted N-fixing bacteria, and the number of total microorganisms, especially
actinomycetes and decomposing bacteria, which could promote nutr...ient uptake
and grain quality. Residues of cover crop mixtures, common vetch + winter oats
and field pea + winter oats, promoted the total number of microorganisms in the
soil, and up to the end of vegetation, a greater number of decomposition and
ammonification microorganisms were found, especially when the bio-fertilizer
was applied, which consequently could support greater maize biomass. Popping
volume, as a main trait of popcorn maize, had the highest value in the common
vetch + winter oats variant, supporting again the statement that quality traits
could be enhanced in sustainable production. Unlike living cover crops, mulch
mainly affected soil microbial communities and promoted the development of
actinomycetes and cellulolytic microorganisms during the growing season. The
results of this research could contribute to the development of sustainable
popcorn maize production for improved grain quality. They could also serve as
a basis for isolating beneficial soil microorganisms to develop new bio-fertilizers
that could improve maize production in synergy with cover crops
