Abstract
One of the results of recent reorganizations in Polish breeding is a remarkable reduction of financial support, which caused decrease in the number of running breeding programmes. According to the data collected by the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing, yield of the Polish winter wheat cultivars is several percentages lower than that of foreign ones. The variation in initial germplasm is of the same size for the Polish and foreign breeding, since the cause must be related to the breeding procedures. Experiments conducted for three years in six locations revealed a low frequency of strains significantly better than the remaining ones. This indicates a necessity to increase the number of lines entering examination process in the Polish breeding programmes to increase competitiveness of the bred wheat cultivars
