Introduction
Eutypa dieback, caused by the fungus Eutypa lata, is
a major trunk disease of grapevines. The productivity
of infected grapevines gradually declines and vines
eventually die. Eutypa dieback costs the Australian
wine industry millions of dollars in lost production and
additional vineyard costs per annum. Vineyard owners
can manage the disease by physically removing
infected wood and encouraging shoots from lower,
uninfected parts of the vine. Wound treatments should
be applied post-pruning to reduce likelihood of new
infections.
