N2  - The maximum desirable grain hardness is related to protein level and to the end product. Three methods of measuring the hardness of wheat are considered, and their dependence on other grain characteristics is shown to vary according to cultivar. Particle size index provides the best estimate of starch damage, and pearling resistance the best discrimination between cultivars. The pattern of site and seasonal effects shown by one hardness test is different from that shown by another.
