Quantification of carbohydrates and their related enzymes was studied in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) infected with Ramularia foeniculi causing blight disease. The content of total carbohydrates, and their related enzymes were recorded in healthy and diseased counter parts. Different plant parts showed variation in their sugar contents, total soluble sugars and reducing sugars were recorded higher in blight infected plant parts while starch contents were recorded lower in infected plant parts. a-amylase and invertase activity were recorded higher in blight infected plant than healthy counter parts.
