In the naturally infected seeds of mungbean and blackgram incited by Macrophomina phaseolina were assayed in order to find out the effect on germination, carbohydrate content, and protein content. Due to infection, the germination was reduced greatly in both mungbean and blackgram. While the infection was less, the seed germination was higher and less germination was found in case of severe infection. In biochemical studies, carbohydrate content was greatly depleted in the infected seeds. In contrast, protein content was found increase due to M. phaseolina infection in both mungbean and blackgram seeds.
