In normal climate conditions and with good technology, Romania could produce yearly over 10 million t of wheat, of which about 6-7 t for bread-making (Tabara, 2004-2005). Romania has a series of very good wheat cultivars developed by the I.C.C.T. Fundulea, S.C.D.A. Lovrin, S.C.D.A. Turda, and others. The variation of bread-making quality indices from one year to another is due to a complex of factors among which the most important are climate and technology (fertilising and harvesting).
