Summary

THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF O3 AND ACID RAIN ON FREEZE RESISTANCE, GROWTH, AND MINERAL NUTRITION WERE STUDIED USING BROADLEAF-EVERGREEN CITRUS AND AVOCADO TREES. USING A FACTORIAL DESIGN, < RUBY RED > GRAPEFRUIT (CITRUS PARADISI L) TREES ON EITHER VOLKAMER LEMON (CITRUS VOLKAMERIANA TEN & PASQ) OR SOUR ORANGE (CITRUS AURANTIUM L) ROOTSTOCKS, AND < PANCHO > AVOCADO TREES (PERSEA AMERICANA MILL) ON < WALDIN > ROOTSTOCK WERE EXPOSED TO O3 AND ACID RAIN FOR 8 MONTHS IN OPEN-TOP CHAMBERS UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS. RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE DANGER OF ACID RAIN TO CITRUS AND AVOCADO IN FLORIDA IS RATHER SLIGHT AND WOULD ONLY PRESENT A POTENTIAL PROBLEM IN THE PRESENCE OF EXTREMELY HIGH O3.
