Preventing Septoria next year

I have three raised beds, each of them have at least one tomato plant with septoria. One bed has four tomato plants.

I know not to compost the diseased plants or the parts that I'm removing daily. What else do I need to consider to lower my likelihood of having septoria again next year?

My yield has been ridiculously low and the tomatoes are smaller than expected.

Do you apply fungicides to your plants periodically.

Regular application of Daconil from the day of planting them outside. Only way to 'prevent' it.

Or you can grow them inside where they aren't exposed to outside air since the spores are airborne.
