The main objectives of spring wheat breeding have been varieties with shorter growing period, high quality, high yielding capacity and disease resistance. During 1992-1994 at the Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute 19 spring wheat varieties, mostly from Nordic countries, but also from Germany and Poland were tested. Some of them have a number of positive characters which make them suitable for further breeding work ('Manu', 'Heta', 'Runar', 'Polkka', 'Satu', 'Reno', 'Munk') have only a couple of interesting characters ('Eta' and 'Planet' - high-yielding, with high hectolitre and 1000 kernel weight, 'Sport' - high content of crude protein and gluten, 'Bastin' - early, with high falling number etc.). Every year new material is being taken into trials. In 1994 samples from Russia and USA were being studied. Since 1991 when spring wheat breeding was restarted, 152 fruitful crossings have been made. Up to now selections have been made keeping in mind suitability for bread making. It is important to know what will be changed in final consumption, to move in right the direction in spring wheat breeding in Estonia in the future
