Yep, surprised no one said reduce tillage yet. One of the main reasons I notill beans. Maybe get a little white mold but never takes much yield in a notill field in my experience.



No tillage + Picking varieties with good tolerance + Reduced populations (sub 100k for sure, 80k or lower is better) where you know you have problems (variable rate prescription) + 6 oz of Cobra (post just prior to flowering) will go a long ways towards eliminating the problem.
