Black point is a disease that affects wheat production quality worldwide, affecting the chemical composition. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of black point disease on the quality of wheat grown in southern Romania during 2022-2024. The incidence and severity of black point were determined by classical laboratory analyses. Quality analyses were carried out using standard NIR spectroscopy to determine dry matter, hardness, gluten, crude protein, and starch. The incidence of caryopses with black points varied by year and climatic conditions. The year 2023 stands out, with the incidence of the attack ranging from 3.3% (Line 1) to 10.4% (Ursita). The gluten content was low across all 2022 samples, classified as satisfactory only in the Ursita and Miranda varieties (26.6% and 27.7%, respectively). In 2023, gluten exceeded 30% in Trivale, Line 1 and Line 2 being classified as very good. Statistical analysis (Tukey test) shows significant differences among experimental years and varieties, and when the two factors are combined.
