Nodotus

• a deity who presided over corn, and brought it as far as the knots in the stalk: praefecerunt ergo ... geniculis nodisque culmorum deum Nodutum, Aug. Civ. Dei, 4, 8; Arn. 4, 131.

or Nodutus, is said to have been a divinity presiding over the knots in the stem of plants producing grain; but it seems more probable that originally it was only a surname of Saturmus. (Aug. De Civ. Dei, 4.8; Arnob. ad v. Gent. 4.7.) [L.S]
