The invention relates to a method for kiln drying of material for kiln drying, especially cereal, pseudocereal, oilseeds or pulses, and to an apparatus especially for conduction of the method, wherein the method includes, as process steps, provision of material for kiln drying to be treated on a tray (20) having at least one orifice (21) for formation of a layer of material for kiln drying (D) and the production of a gas flow, especially of an air flow (L), and wherein the gas flow, especially the air flow (L), through the layer of material for kiln drying (D) is generated from a space (X) facing the layer of material for kiln drying (D) in the tray (20) having at least one orifice (21) to a space (Y) facing away from the layer of material for kiln drying (D) in the tray (20).
