Simplest method is to stop down the aperture. How much depends on the focal length but with shorter focal lengths (say 135mm or less) f8 is normally enough to ensure that the subject remains acceptably sharp. This is fine for general landscapes but if you wish to separate the subject from the background by using shallow depth of field then a body converted and re-calibrated for IR may be a better solution...
