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

Scientific name : Globodera rostochiensis

Other names : Potato cyst nematode

Microscopic nematode from the Andes that parasitises roots of potato and, to a lesser extent, tomato and eggplant. Females turn into golden pinhead-sized cysts attached to the roots, containing hundreds of eggs that can survive over 20 years in soil. Affected plants grow in weak, yellowish patches.

Crops affected : Eggplant, Potato, Tomato
