A procedure is described for determining preliminary milling and baking potential for soft wheat breeding lines when only small quantities of grain (a minimum of 16 g) are available for testing. Micro tests for kernel hardness, flour yield, and cookie potential give results which correlate highly with those of larger scale standard evaluation procedures. Sensitivity of these tests indicates merit for genetic studies involving quality and similar experiments, wherein a large number of small samples are evaluated.
