Wheat kernel has hundreds of features, of which 20% are important for market while 10-15 are currently under investigation, including test weight (TW) of grains. Serbian literature data dealing area test weight is scarce, not containing any comprehensive study. Therefore, the paper was aimed to establish: 1) the role of TW (important parameter when projecting storage facilities and equipment; 2) the importance of TW (higher TW is an element of marketing, sensory quality, price, acceptability on market; 3) the forming factors: a) agroecological (abiotIc and biotic) and b) agrotechnological (agrotechnical, drying, processing); and 4) the principles of forming higher TW. There are numerous factors that affect test weight increase beside genomics and breeding: field choice, cultivation, optimal density in sowing, moderate manuring, irrigation, mild wind, high level of pollination, protection from pests, heat shock, slow maturing, harvest before full maturity with combine, slow drying and thorough material cleaning. It would be useful to passess detailed data for each variety on conditions and technology that increase TW.
