Abstract
Fungal species associated with three (Vitis vinifera L.)cultivars exhibited decline grown in the main grapevine production area in Salahaldin province, middle Iraq were surveyed during 2012 – 2013. Based on microscopical and cultural characteristics, a total of 24 species in addition to non-sporulating mycelia were identified. The most frequently isolated fungi from shoots were Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Cadophora spp., Clonostachys rosea, Penicillium spp. Phaeoacremonium sp. I, Neocytalidium dimidiatum and Stachybotrys atra, whereas, Fusarium spp., Acremonium sp., Cylindrocladiella viticola, Cylindrocarpon spp., and Phaeoacremonium sp. 2, were the most frequently isolated fungi from roots. C. viticola is recorded for the first time from Iraq.
