DNA metabarcoding of root and water samples collected from 132 British plant nurseries over 7 years reveals the prevalence of Phytophthora pathogens, their niche preferences and high‐risk hosts and management practices. Abstract Invasive Phytophthora species infect a very broad range of herbaceous and woody hosts globally.
