Discussion

Metabarcoding analysis identifies soilborne pathogens and microbial diversity in almond decline, suggesting interconnected threats.

Microbial diversity impacts almond decline, with pathogens highlighting significant threats to orchards.
Metabarcoding identified numerous soilborne pathogens, including Neocosmospora rubicola and Dactylonectria estremocensis.
Classical isolation identified 47 fungal species, emphasizing various causative agents of almond dieback.
Integration of NGS approaches may enhance understanding of complex diseases and pathogen interactions.

Albuquerque et al. (2025) studied this question.
