Abstract
Mycotoxins are harmful to human and animal health so legislative limits in stored cereals must not be exceeded. The spatial distribution of many different mycotoxins in grain silos is largely unknown. Spatial analysis is needed for precise management of stored grain to minimize waste, prevent rejection of lots and maximize profit. This study re-analysed existing datasets where spatial analysis was hindered by highly-skewed data. Here the normal score transform was used. Dataset 1: Cross-variograms and bi-variate local Moran's I (LMI) analysis showed spatial structure and co-variation in two toxins. Dataset 2: 3D spatial analysis showed spatial structure was stronger and concentrations were higher in the outer layers of the grain and where moisture collects under the influence of gravity.
