Fusarium oxysporum was isolated from roots of declining grapevines of cv Semillon ( Vitis vinifera L.) in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. The pathogenicity of the fungus was confirmed by infecting grapevines growing in the glasshouse with material obtained from roots of field‐grown vines. The symptoms of the infection on the plants and the effect of the fungus on the roots are described.
