Crop dusting is a colloquialism for the aerial application of pesticides on a growing crop. Most pesticides so applied are no longer a "dust" as such, due to the possibility of drift into non-target areas, but are usually liquid formulations of usually fungicides or insecticides. They can be applied by either small, powerful airplanes or by helicopter.

In a dust storm, strong and violent winds carry tonnes of material such as topsoil, sand, silt, clay, dust etc. for long distances. The particles swirl around in the air during the storm, raising up into the air for hundreds of metres, and the storm itself can spread for hundreds of kilometres. An example of an enormous duststorm occurred in Melbourne, Australia, in February 1983. It started when a strong, dry cold front began crossing Victoria, preceded by hot, gusty northerly winds. The wind picked up the loose topsoil and, raising a dust cloud 320m deep, advanced towards Melbourne, already suffering a record February maximum temperature of 43.2

The dust storm hit the city around 3pm, dropping the temperatures dramatically, whilst wind squalls uprooted trees and unroofed houses. Visibility dropped to around 100m as the storm dumped approximately 1,000 tonnes of topsoil on the city.
