Remove diseased plant material from plants.
Remove any dead or diseased plant material from around plants.
Plant disease-resistant varieties
Practice crop rotation and fertilize at recommended times to improve plant health and reduce pressure from soil-borne pathogens.
Plant companion plants that will attract beneficial insects and birds
Be ok with a minimal amount of disease, as long as it isn't affecting the overall health and aesthetic quality of the plant.
