The disease does not warrant cultural control measures. The incidence of the disease can be reduced by crop rotation and wheat in conventional rotations is rarely, if ever, badly affected. The fungus probably survives on grass weeds so elimination of such weeds is also likely to reduce disease incidence. The fungus also survives mainly in the top 10cm of the soil so ploughing will also help to remove inoculum .
There are no chemical methods of control of this disease.
