Biochemical changes were observed from healthy and artificially isolated carbendazim sensitive IS5 and resistant IS10 isolates of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) fruit caused by Alternearia altenata. There was a significant variation between infected and healthy fruit, which showed significant changes with respect to estimation of total sugar, reducing sugar, non reducing sugar, Polyphenol, Starch, crudeprotein, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, calcium, DNA, RNA, Magnesium, Zinc, and Manganese. Among them. Total sugar (36.5 mg/g) was increased in healthy fruits. In Polyphenols (18.201 mg/100 g) it was decreased in healthy fruits followed by starch (16.00 mg/g) and others. Infected fruit of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) by both resistant and sensitive isolates reduced the content of all parameters. This was more pronounced due to utilization of nutritious compounds of the fruits by fungal pathogen for their growth and metabolism, which causes deterioration of the nutritious compounds of the fruits.
