The effectiveness of road dust as a protective agent in reducing sulfur dioxide injury to buckwheat and ozone injury to pinto bean was investigated. Road dust was obtained from a lightly gravelled earthen road and processed so that the resulting dust closely approximated that found on roadside vegetation. Buckwheat was exposed to SO/sub 2/ concns ranging from 25-75 ..mu..liters/liter (pphm). The pinto beans were exposed to ozone concns ranging from 25-50 ..mu..liters/liter. All exposures were for a 6-h period and the temp and relative humidity were maintained 26 C and 70%, respectively. In both series of exposures, the road dust was applied to only the upper leaf surface at a rate sufficient to cover completely. The SO/sub 2/ exposures resulted in a correlation between severity of injury and dosage on both dusted and undusted buckwheat plants. A significant reduction in symptoms was noted on dusted (as opposed to undusted) plants, particularly at the higher dosages. Ozone exposures revealed a similar significant reduction in symptoms on dusted pinto bean plants when compared to undusted plants.
