What is an opportunist?

An "opportunist" is a population (fungi, bacteria, insects…) that takes advantage of a favourable environment to settle in, multiply and feed on it. It often develops when the natural defences of the affected organism are weakened — for genetic reasons or linked to context (water stress, deficiencies, nutritional imbalances, overcrowding…). This is typically the case in monocultures, where a single host plant, uniform and present in large numbers, offers ideal ground for it to spread.

Identification key : Leaf spots and scabs (fungi) (Damage and symptoms on the host)

Scientific name : Colletotrichum spp.

Other names : Colletotrichum rot, ripe rot

Anthracnose is caused mainly by fungi of the genus Colletotrichum, which survive in infected plant debris, twigs and seeds. Spores are spread by splashing rain or irrigation water and infections are most severe in warm, humid weather; on many fruits the infection stays latent until ripening. It produces sunken, dark, well-defined lesions on leaves, stems and fruit, often with pink or orange spore masses in the centre; it affects beans, mango, avocado, papaya, citrus, strawberry, tomato, pepper and coffee.

Crops affected : Avocado, Banana, Bean, Bell pepper, Coffee, Cucumber, Guava, Lemon tree, Mango, Orange tree, Papaya, Strawberry, Tomato
