Abstract

An interactive computer model was developed to provide layer drying schedules for maize milo or soyabeans. It utilizes ambient daily weather conditions as well as specific drying fans and drying bin diameters to determine layer volumes and drying times for the individual layers. The production of aflatoxin and mould growth in the drying bin is taken into account
