FIELD: postharvest treatment of grain before laying for storage. SUBSTANCE: method involves treating grain with propionic acid comprising additive of chitosan, arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenic acid, until film is formed on surface of each corn seed; using source of chitosa, arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenic acid for adding into propionic acid, said source being preparation produced by sequential extracting of Mortierella globulifera micromycet biomass with the use of non-polar extractant in above- critical state, water, alkaline, water, acid, water, alkaline, and water, with following joining of first extract with solid residue. EFFECT: simplified process owing to the use of raw additive for propionic acid instead of pure substances.
