Resistance is available for this disease. Rotate with grasses, grains, or legumes for more than 5 years. Planting potatoes following sudangrass or corn in the rotation has been shown to decrease disease, especially if the corn or sudangrass has been planted for several years. Avoid tomato, eggplant, and other members of the potato family in the rotations. Control susceptible weeds.
Control nematodes, if present.
