PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dusting powder for suppressing the production of sunburned fruits.SOLUTION: The agent for protecting fruits from sunburn essentially includes a water-soluble calcium salt (except for calcium lignin sulfonate) and a lignin sulfonate, provided that the compounding ratio of the water-soluble calcium salt to the lignin sulfonate in terms of weight is within the range of 90:10 to 50:50. The agent is prepared into an aqueous solution and sprayed onto fruit trees during July through September.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】日焼け果の発生を抑制する散布剤。【解決手段】水溶性のカルシウム塩(但し、リグニンスルホン酸カルシウムは除く)とリグニンスルホン酸塩とを必須成分とし、水溶性のカルシウム塩とリグニンスルホン酸塩との配合比が、重量比で水溶性のカルシウム塩90:リグニスルホン酸塩10~水溶性のカルシウム塩50:リグニスルホン酸塩50の範囲にある果実の日焼け防止剤を水溶液として7~9月に果樹に散布する。【選択図】なし
