Fourteen cultivars of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] from maturity groups 0 through VI were exposed to 30 and 70 pphm ozone for 1.5 hours to determine differences in cultivar sensitivity. Cultivar Hark was the most susceptible, whereas Hood was the most tolerant to ozone injury. Hawkeye was the most sensitive cultivar at 70 pphm and among the least sensitive at 30 pphm, whereas Chippewa 64 was relatively tolerant at 70 pphm but among the most sensitive at 30 pphm. Ozone symptoms ranged from chlorotic and/or necrotic fleck and pigmented lesions to upper surface bleaching and bifacial necrosis of the leaves.
