Influences of drying temperature and storage conditions for preserving the quality of maize postharvest on laboratory and field scales

Abstract Drying and storage methods are fundamental for maintaining the grain quality until processing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of the drying temperature with storage systems and conditions as a strategy for preserving the quality of maize grain postharvest...
