 There are several diseases that affect rye, including stem or stalk smut, anthracnose, leaf rust and stem rust, but ergot is by far the most serious disease of rye (7). Some Lepidoptera larvae feed on rye (10), but pests do not have a large impact on it. Early planted rye may encourage grasshoppers, which will damage other crops (7).
