A sunscreen composition for application for plants comprises Titanium Dioxide (TiO 2 ), Zinc Oxide (ZnO), Silicon Dioxide (SiO 2 ), a surfactant, wetting agent, dispersant (SWD) and water. The composition forms a suspension concentrate when combined that when diluted in water provides a solution that provides uniform coverage using convention spraying equipment. A method of protecting plants including turfgrass from ultraviolet radiation, heat stress and/or sunburn comprises combining TiO 2 , ZnO, SiO 2 , SWD and water to form a suspension concentrate. The suspension concentrate is then diluted in water and applied to an area in which sun protection is desired. |
