Triticale breeding in Poland was directed until recently towards the improvement of yield and agronomic characteristics, as well as its nutritive value. This crop has been utilized as grain feed for pigs and poultry, and only now has the problem of triticale bread become important as a result of large expansion of the new crop. At Laski Plant Breeding Station, several methods are used for testing the baking quality of triticale material. First, the falling number, protein content and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) values are evaluated on selected single plant offspring tested in microtrials. Flour yield is also determined for more advanced materials and Brabender's farinograph test performed. Several baking procedures are used in parallel experiments. Results of preliminary testing of two new varieties and two standard cultivars Lasko and Malno are presented in comparison with winter cultivar Emika, representing a medium baking quality. New variety CHD1089, tested in official trials, is a good example of the marked progress in baking quality of Polish winter triticale
