Corn — is one of the essential crops in the world’s modern agriculture. This crop is versatile and has high productivity. That is why we made the following researches.
Hybrid seeds of Zaporozhskaya F1 corn were separated on the CAD separator.

Analysis of each fraction was made in Alexandvosk State Seed Inspection.
As a result were obtained II and III fractions with 99,6% - 99,5% purity accordingly, also in these fractions there are no seeds of other crops, they went to the IV and V fractions. II fraction has high germinating ability – 92% that is 8% higher than in the initial material. In addition II and III fractions have high mass of 1000 seeds.
Owing to the separation on the CAD machine we were able not only to clean seeds but also get sowing material of corn that corresponds to Ukrainian state standards.
