In a field experiment with conservation tillage of Wolska variety of onion the influence of cover plants such as spring rye (Secale cereale) and common vetch (Vicia sativa) as well as varied pre-sowing cultivation measures: no-tillage, disc harrowing during the spring, disc harrowing before the winter in comparison with conventional cultivation, on the content of mineral elements in soil and onion were studied. The content of mineral elements in soil and in onion was modified in greater degree by the changes in weather than by the agro-technical factors. No significant influence of conservation tillage on the content of mineral components in soil or in the onion was found. Soil covered with plant mulch contained slightly more potassium and magnesium in the arable layer in comparison with bare soil. The onion cultivated by using cover plants accumulated slightly more dry mass, N-total and potassium.
