This investigation was aimed to specify the effects of excessive soil moisture on qualities of flour, milling properties, dough properties and qualities of Japanese-type noodle by comparing the wheat samples harvested from the plots of excessive and moderate soil moisture. Test weight, 1000-kernel weight and ash content of the grain harvested from excessive soil moisture plot were lower than those of the grain from moderate one. The sample from excessive soil moisture plot showed some decrease in crude protein content of whole grain and flour when compared with the sample from moderate one. There were no significant differences in flour yield and in milling score between the samples from plots of different soil moisture. The sample from excessive soil moisture plot showed slight inferiority in brightness of flour colors and in yield of boiled noodle and in color of boiled noodle when compared with the sample from moderate one
