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 : Downy mildew and late blight (oomycetes) (Damage and symptoms on the host)

Scientific name : Peronospora radii

Other names : Peronospora radii

Oomycete of several Asteraceae whose best-documented host is chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). It mainly affects the ray florets: flower heads become distorted, sometimes branched, and lose their disc florets; it may also appear on leaves as a greyish-violet growth. It was reported as a threat to chamomile growing in northern Serbia from 2004.

Crops affected : Chamomile
