Abstract
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most prevalent and long-standing cultivated crops in the world due to its non-selective climate and soil demands, types of usage and having a wide range of varieties. Turkey has a rich grapevine gene pool because of its favorable climate zone. Viticulture, which has an important role in agriculture, faces many problems in the process of production to marketing. Fungal diseases take an important place by limiting the production wherever grapevine is cultivated. It is aimed to determine the stem fungal diseases that cause drying in viticulture areas of Malatya province with this research. Arapgir, Yesilyurt, Battalgazi and Darende districts of Malatya province, where grapevine is intensely cultivated, were surveyed in two different vegetation periods, and samples were taken from symptomatic plants. Identification of these isolates were performed based on morphological and molecular examinations. As a result of this study, Botryosphaeria spp., Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, Fomitiporia mediterranea, Cytospora viticola, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, Dothiorella spp., Lasiodiplodia spp. were identified as causal agents for the diseases observed in Malatya province.
