Root knot nematodes have been an ongoing issue for us in the garden over the past few years.. We have tried a few methods in controlling them & think we have finally found one that we will be using from now on.. Not only will this method help control the nematodes it will also help add organic matter back into the soil.. Another bonus is that we will be able to save the seeds from crop to crop giving us an almost endless supply of soil treatments for free..
More information can be found on this University of Florida page

Please note, that not all nematodes cause problems for gardeners/farmers.. Some are most beneficial in helping make organic matter into available food for your plants while others help control other pests in the soil..
