The effect of chronic exposure to low levels of ozone on growth and susceptibility of plants of a resistant and susceptible cabbage cultivar to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans was determined. Exposure to low levels of ozone for 10 weeks had no obvious adverse effects on the overall growth of plants of either cultivar or on resistance of the resistant cultivar to Fusarium yellows. Resistant seedlings did not develop symptoms of Fusarium yellows. Symptoms of Fusarium yellows were simultaneously apparent for susceptible plants in both ozone and ozone-free, filtered air chambers. Small decreases in Fusarium yellows incidence were observed weekly for susceptible cabbage plants grown in ozone chambers when compared with susceptible plants grown in ozone-free, filtered air chambers. 7 references, 1 table.
