Nature, extent, and variation of plant response to air pollutants
Journal Article
·
· Adv. Agron.; (United States)
The major pollutants have been identified, and the nature and extent of air pollution problems discussed. The symptoms of injury caused by these pollutants, especially on crop plants, have been described. Air pollution problems have increased because of multiple sources and mixtures of pollutants. There is increased concern about chronic injury and reduced growth attributed to air pollutants, such as photochemical oxidants and sulfur oxides. Response to pollutants may be altered by many factors, such as genetic, environmental, cultural conditions, time-concentration relationships, and the presence of mixtures of pollutants. The identification and use of tolerant varieties, including resistant varieties developed by breeding, will help reduce losses and assure maximum agricultural production.
