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 : Swollen or galled roots (protists, nematodes) (Damage and symptoms on the host)

Scientific name : Plasmodiophora brassicae

Other names : Club root of crucifers

Soil-borne microorganism (a protist rather than a true fungus) that infects only the roots of Brassicaceae. It causes irregular, club-shaped swellings on roots, which stop functioning; plants wilt in the heat of the day, turn yellow and form small heads. Its resting spores survive up to twenty years in soil and are favoured by acid, wet soils.

Crops affected : Arugula, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Mustard, Rapeseed (Canola)
