Abstract
The grain storage ecosystem comprises of biotic and abiotic factors that interact during grain storage, and their interaction affects the quality of the stored grains over time. The understanding and management of the complex interaction of the biotic and abiotic factors in the stored grain ecosystem is crucial to decision-making and in the development of management strategies for grain farmers and elevators. Mathematical modelling has emerged as an essential approach in tackling complex systems such as the stored grain ecosystem. This review explores the application of mathematical modelling in the grain storage ecosystem and synthesizes the existing literature, highlighting the various mathematical models and approaches to solving issues relating to the grain storage ecosystem. The review will be helpful to researchers and stored grain experts in the grain industry on the various mathematical modelling approaches and equations that can be employed to solve problems associated with grain storage in order to better manage the quality of stored grain.
