Tropospheric ozone (O3) precursors, and consequently O3, are predicted to rise globally by 40–60% of the current level by 2100 due to rapid economic development, suggesting a critical O3 pollution scenario; thus, agricultural sectors and food security are facing a major threat. Considering such a state of affairs, it is the need of the hour to adopt appropriate agronomic practices in farming to ameliorate the detrimental impacts of O3 on agricultural productivity. The effectiveness of different agronomic practices in controlling the O3 stress on crop plants is gaining utmost importance by various research groups worldwide. Studies suggested that soil amendments with N fertilization enhanced the efficiency in resource partitioning and activation of the antioxidant
