Resistant cultivars are the most acceptable and economic means of disease control. Fungicide-treated seed is effective in reducing the incidence of disease. Production and cultivation equipment should be properly disinfected. Cultivation of cucumber in greenhouses during late autumn, winter, and early spring reduces disease symptoms, since wilt is not favoured at relatively low temperatures.
