Over 1998-2000, five cultivars of Triticum spelta L. (Rouquin, Baulander Spelz, Schwabenkorn, Franckenkorn, Holstenkorn) were cultivated in the ecological way and analysed for milling and trade qualities according to the requirements for common wheat moisture. Results were evaluated and statistically processed. The most important parameters of milling quality were: a year of growing which statistically significantly influenced a portion of husk (lowest in 1998: 20.2%), ash content (lowest in 1998), thousand-grain weight (statistically significantly lowest in 2000: 30g), and a portion of different size fractions of grains (statistically significant differences between the years of growing). The highest portion of sieve residue on the sieves with meshes of 2.5 mm and 2.8 mm was found in 1998 (73.5%) and the lowest one in the year 2000 (21.9 %). Based on the results, the cultivar itself was not so much a cause for variability, compared to the year of growing. The highest portion of grains hulled involuntarily during harvest was observed for Holstenkorn (47.9%), the smallest for Schwabenkorn (22.3%). The highest portion of sieve residue on the 2.5mm+2.8mm sieves was noted for Baulander Spelz (57.2%). In terms of milling quality, the weather conditions of the year 1998 were best for Triticum spelta L. cultivation
