Air microbiome analysis in fruit orchard

The study of airborne microbiomes is becoming an increasingly important research area. The biomass of airborne microorganisms is substantial, and their community composition reflects the condition of surrounding vegetation. Identifying pathogenic microbes enables early detection and effective infection control. Airbiom assessments allow for representative analysis across large areas, supporting the development of sustainable agricultural practices. We use a three-stage cyclone sampling system to collect bioaerosol particles of varying sizes. This technology enables accurate detection and monitoring of airborne microorganisms and early identification of pathogens. Using next-generation sequencing technologies (16S rRNA, ITS, shotgun), we analyze the samples in detail. This provides a comprehensive view of the microbial communities present in the air. Our findings offer a foundation for environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.
