[Growwine] Help to determine cause of Cab-Sev symptoms

[Canada Vintage]

Update on my Cab-Sev situation:
 
MAPAQ testing has found that the soil contained higher than acceptable nematode level.
The group is now leaning towards a pest problem and not one of nutrient deficiency.
 
They are going to send me a final report in a few days.
 
Question: exactly what are nematodes and how do we get rid of them, preferably bio-organically.
