Within the framework of the present climate changes, it is ever recommended to grow varieties characterized by a large ecological plasticity, varieties which can successfully pass over the extreme droughty periods which may affect both the yield and its nutritive quality. Thus, the sweet corn, variety resistant to hydrical stress conditions, remarked itself by a higher calory content and a superior nutritive value in comparison with the regular corn, representing both an important source of microelements: magnezium (37-48 mg/100 g grains), potassium (270 mg/100 g grains, phosphorous (69 mg/100 g grains), natrium (16 mg/100 g grains) a source of B complex vitamins, C and E vitamins. Knowing the fact that the nutritive value represents one of the main requests in cobs trade the influence of technological links upon sweet corn yield quality, in conditions of crop irrigation lack, has been tested within a bi-factorial trial. Recorded experimental results emphasized the inferiority of the hybrids grown in the classical soil tillage system in comparison with the minimum tillage soil system, thus, both the grown genotype and the soil tillage variant significantly influence the level of production and the grains quality. Thus, it is requested to find an alternative for animal proteins, namely vegetal proteins, which even incomplete, being cholesterol free, may constitute alternatives for a healthy food.
