Ozone is a phytotoxic gas not emitted directly in the atmosphere, the formation of tropospheric O3 in the atmosphere includes several photochemical reactions between primary air pollutants. Therefore, is a secondary pollutant formed in the atmosphere by solar radiation-driven chemical reactions between O3 precursor gases, for instance i.e. CO, NOx, CH4 and non-methane volatile organic compounds.
I am attaching here some links of study related to crop yield and Ozone pollution.
