The scientific or taxonomic name would be Meloidogyne sp.
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.

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.

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.
No, gnat is not a homophone for knot, the vowel sounds are not the same.
Its the word έντομο (entomo) meaning insect. Like entomology.
