1.1 EFFECTS OF FORCED AERATION ON THE PRESERVATION OF STORED GRAIN
Aeration can be defined as the forced movement of ambient air of suitable quality or of suitably conditioned air through a grain bulk for improvement of grain storability (Calderon, 1972). Aeration is also called
active, mechanical, low-volume,
or
forced
ventilation, since fan power is used to deliver ambient air.
