Abstract

A mathematical relationship between grain moisture and time was established for estimating field grain moistures of sorghum during the harvest season. The model predicts grain moisture from a known reference moisture with or without the influence of rainfall. The number of days required for grain moisture to reduce from one level to any other can be predicted. The model is specific, but can be easily adapted in the light of localized drying rates
