By thrashing back and forth as the result of contracting longitudinal muscles is the way in which root knot nematodes move.
Specifically, the animal in question (Meloidogynespp) is a worm-like organism that also can be designated a roundworm. From the outside inward, a root knot nematode has a cuticle to cover epidermal cells which protect muscle cells. The muscle cells run lengthwise, never width-wise. Contracting the above-mentioned cells will result in a flexed, unflattened body that moves by thrashing back and forth.
The four main nematode diseases are known as foliar, lesion, pin and root knot. Foliar nematode disease is controlled by spraying leaves. The other three typically are controlled by soil drenches.
Tap water....3-4 days....BOOOM! J2 M. incognita.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Meloidogyne sp.
No, a root knot nematode is not an insect; it is a type of microscopic roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda. These nematodes are plant parasites that can cause significant damage to roots, leading to stunted growth and reduced crop yields. Unlike insects, nematodes lack segmented bodies and exoskeletons, and they have a simpler body structure.

African (Tagetes erecta), dwarf (T. tenuifolia), and French (T. patula) marigolds deter pests by attracting pest-eating beneficial insects such as lacewings, ladybugs, and parasitic wasps.Specifically, French marigolds are thought to deter root knot nematodes, which live off of and damage plant roots. Popular varieties include:Bolero, Bonita mixed;Goldie, Gypsy sunshine;Petite, Petite Gold, and Petite Harmony;Scarlet Sophie, Single Gold;Tangerine.The root knot nematode-resistant varieties will have an "N" on their labels at the nursery, to indicate that they have nematocidal ("nematode killing") properties.
You get string as long as hair. You tie string with a knot to root of hair. You twist string around hair. Then you tie a knot at the end once you have desire length. You can add beads to the end
The root mob means to move with power
The biggest advantage of shellfish compost is in soils infested with root-knot nematodes. Root-knot nematodes attack the roots of tomatoes, peppers, and many other vegetables, forming galls that restrict the uptake of nutrients. Affected plants are stunted, and produce inferior fruit. Shellfish compost is rich in chitin, which forms the shells of shrimp, lobsters, and crabs. Adding shellfish compost to soil produces a proliferation of chitin-eating bacteria. Once the bacteria have eaten all the chitin from the shellfish compost, they attack the next largest source of chitin--the outer coatings of nematodes. Shellfish compost only has this effect in warm soil temperatures, when bacteria proliferate freely. It also takes a few months to boost chitin-eating bacteria populations, but over time, nematode populations decline. Southern gardeners with nematode problems, pay attention.
The root word is move.
