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 : Leafhoppers, planthoppers and psyllids (jumpers) (Adult (and nymphs resembling the adult))

Scientific name : Nilaparvata lugens

Other names : Rice brown planthopper

Small brown insect 3 to 4 mm long from rice-growing regions of Asia and Oceania. It lives at the base of rice stems and sucks sap; large populations cause hopperburn, circular patches of dried-out rice. It also transmits rice viruses and can migrate long distances on the wind.

Crops affected : Rice
