Grape Eutypa dieback is one of the most destructive woody tissue diseases found in commercial grape production. The pathogen is the canker-and-shoot dieback phase of what was called dead-arm disease, and is a growing problem in the Midwest.It is important to note that for many years, phomopsis was thought to be the cause of dead-arm disease.utypa dieback is viable in the field for many years. Due to this viability it is important to prune out and destroy any diseased parts from the vines or vineyard floor, during dormant season. Infected vines must be cut off below the canker or discolored wood.
