One of the things almost all South Florida gardeners have to deal with is RKN. It's everywhere. I don't know if this is practical for you, but I got this from the one of the big commercial growers in Homestead, FL. He solarizes the plot with a covering of black plastic left on for a month in the height of our 94 degree summers then plants in the fall like usual, so I tried it. It worked perfectly! Not one root knot. I have done it for 7 years now, an have never had the problem return.
The solarization cooks them!
