| Proper and timely drying is needed for producing quality paddy seed. Open sun drying is often produced seed with foreign materials. Solar dryer produced by science for society (S4S), India might be suitable for country like Bangladesh. Therefore, an attempt was taken to evaluate S4S seed dryer at the Workshop, Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. In this experiment, the spatial and temporal distribution of temperature and moisture in S4S solar grain dryer was investigated and the seed quality was also evaluated. The dryer performance was evaluated with six trials in Boro season from May 10 to June 6, 2017 and with three trials in Aman season from November 7 to 11, 2017.
