Summary

The cooling of paddy rice stored under Thai conditions during the 1988 and 1989 seasons showed that ambient aeration could not reduce the average grain temperature below 25 deg C during either the wet or dry season. Chilled aeration moved a cooling front completely through a 1000 t bin and lowered the paddy temperature to 15 deg C (the typical insect development threshold) in 110 to 144 hours, depending on the season. Shrink loss was higher during the dry than the wet season.
