Phytoplasma diseases pose a substantial threat to diverse crops of agricultural importance. Management measures are usually implemented only after the disease has already occurred. Early detection such phytopathogens, prior outbreak, rarely been attempted but would be highly beneficial for phytosanitary risk assessment, prevention and mitigation. In this study we present implementation recently proposed proactive management protocol (DAMA: Document, Assess, Monitor, Act) group vector-borne phytopathogens. We used insect samples collected during recent biomonitoring program in southern Germany screen presence phytoplasmas. Insects were with Malaise traps different settings. DNA was extracted from these mass trap subjected PCR-based phytoplasma COI sequence metabarcoding. about 1% analyzed samples, detected. identification performed by 16S rRNA gene analysis detected phytoplasmas could assigned 16SrI subgroups B L. Insect species sample identified By using established databases, checklists, archives, documented historical associations records its hosts region. For assessment DAMA protocol, phylogenetic triage order determine tri-trophic interactions (plant-insect-phytoplasma) associated outbreaks A heat map constitutes basis here identify minimum number seven leafhopper suggested monitored stakeholders stance monitoring changing patterns association between pathogens can cornerstone capabilities prevent future outbreaks. To our knowledge, is first time that applied field phytopathology plant diseases.
