Simulation experiments were conducted to optimize the conditions of grain drying in the silos with vertical airflow. The optimum conditions could not be univocally determined because the indices characterizing the process quality depend on the same drying parameters in different extent. For that reason some additional external factors should be considered. Exemplary diagrams illustrating interdependence of the indices (energy input on blowing and heating air, diversity of final grain moisture content, drying time) and drying parameters were presented. Such diagrams may be helpful in selecting optimum - for given circumstances - method of grain drying in the silos
