Low-temperature in-bin paddy drying has been examined to study the limitations of this drying method under Korean weather conditions, the initial moisture content of the paddy, the bulk depth and the airflow rate. The tests carried out during the paddy-drying period in 1981 and 1982 have shown that under Korean weather conditions paddy can be dried to safe storage conditions by continuous aeration with ambient air. Depending upon the initial moisture content of the kernels (19.2%-25.5% w.b.), the bulk depth (1.1-3.5m) and the airflow (3.0-6.9 m3 air/m3 paddy/min) the paddy could be dried within 5 to 17 days
