First symptoms are yellowing of the foliage, beginning with the lower leaves and working upward. Yellowing often begins on one side of the vine. Infected leaves later show downward curling, followed by browning and drying.
The top of the vine wilts during the day and recovers at night, but wilting becomes progressively worse until the entire vine is permanently wilted. Vascular browning can be seen in infected stems and large leaf petioles.
