In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for preventing sunburn, and other physiological disorders such as watercore, corking and bitterpit, without diminishing photosynthesis, comprising applying to at least a portion of a surface of a plant an effective amount of a finely divided particulate material to prevent sunburn, and other physiological disorders such as watercore, corking and bitterpit, in the plant, wherein the particulate material comprises a heat treated particulate material and the particulate material as applied permits an exchange of gases on the surface of the plant and the particulate material has a thickness from about 1 .mu.m to about 1,000 .mu.m.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for reducing at least one of sunburn, watercore, corking, and bitterpit, without diminishing photosynthesis, comprising:applying to at least a portion of a surface of a plant an effective amount of a finely divided particulate material to form a particulate material film and reduce at least one of sunburn, watercore, corking, and bitterpit, in the plant, the finely divided particulate materials have a median individual particle size below about 3 microns,wherein the particulate material comprises a heat treated particulate material heated to a temperature from about 300.degree. C. to about 1,200.degree. C. and the particulate material as applied permits an exchange of gases on the surface of plant and the particulate material film has a thickness from about 1 .mu.m to about 1,000 .mu.m.
