Keywords:
Biochemical constituents, Wheat seed, Black point, Manure, Fertilizers.Abstract
This studywascarriedouttodemonstratetheeffectofblackpointonthechangesofbiochemicalconstituents inwheatseed 
at different levels of manuring. Starch and total soluble carbohydrates of wheat decreased, while prolamin, glutelin and 
phenolics increased with the change of manuring schedule levels but method of urea application had no effect on 
carbohydrate and showed a tendency towards increase in total phenol and prolamin. On the other hand, glutelin and 
orthohydroxyphenol contentshoweddecreasingtendencyundersimilarconditions. Nitrogenalone,orincombination with 
cowdung,increasedthenumberofinfectedwheatseeds;itwasalsotrueformethodsofN application.Blackpointpathogens

to infection marked fluctuation was observed in thecontents of reducing sugar, total phenol and prolamin of the seed.
