Rye (Secale cereale L.), as an important cereal crop, has historically suffered from severe fungal and bacterial diseases. This study explores the historical context, modern management methods, and future directions for controlling these diseases. By examining major fungal diseases such as ergot, rusts, and smuts, as well as bacterial diseases like bacterial blight and black chaff, it reviews the impact of disease outbreaks on rye production and the evolution of disease resistance. Modern disease management strategies include the use of fungicides and antibiotics, the introduction of biological control agents, breeding for disease resistance, and integrated disease management practices. With the challenges posed by climate change, the control of rye diseases has become increasingly complex. This study integrates historical successes and modern technologies, emphasizing the importance of crop rotation, cultural practices, and biotechnology in future disease management to enhance rye’s disease resistance, ensure food security, and promote the sustainable development of agricultural ecosystems.
