Corn is the second most widely sold grain crop in the world (after wheat). Sweet corn is a
valuable vegetable crop, which ranks among the top vegetable crops in terms of nutritional value and
taste. It has a significant list of useful substances: high content of vitamins A, B, C and E, especially a
large amount of vitamin folate (B9), slightly less niacin (B3) and thiamine (B1). Of the macro- and
microelements, corn has the most potassium (270 milligrams) and magnesium (37 milligrams). An
element rare in other products, contained in corn, is gold, which is contained in corn in microportions, but
this is enough to feed our brain with the rare metal necessary for its best work. Corn is balanced in the
composition of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, rich in fiber and does not contain gluten. Fiber helps
intestinal motility, prevents cancer. In addition, the absence of gluten makes corn the most universal food,
which does not have the "contraindications" inherent in wheat, equally suitable for healthy people and
people with health problems. Corn as a silage crop has great fodder value. Silage from cobs in the milkywax ripeness phase of grain is considered one of the best in terms of nutritional value. Preparations from
corn silk are used as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, choleretic, hemostatic agent in the treatment of
kidneys, liver, urological diseases, edema of various origins. Preparations from corn silk have a
moderately calming effect, and can also reduce appetite. Corn oil, obtained from the germs of corn seeds,
regulates the level of cholesterol in the blood, reduces its deposition on the walls of blood vessels, reduces
the risk of thrombosis and has a choleretic effect. The share of corn in the world starch production is about
75%. Given the high importance of corn, it is necessary to conduct systematic research in the field of
developing new effective growth regulators for this plant. In this work we show the results of our own
research in the field of development of promising phytohormones for accelerating the growth of corn
based on ammonium salts of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. It is shown that the compounds synthesized by
us contribute to the increase of the above-ground and root parts of corn and accelerate the growth of corn.
