Cedric Randolph Jun 12, 2009:
surface treatment "Applicazione", seems to be a kind of treatment or application for cosmetic purposes, as opposed to pest control, or maturation control or grafting, etc. You have to decide in the end at any rate.
Cedric Randolph Jun 12, 2009:
Cosmetic - superficial - surface It still seems to fit. Some sort of surface spraying, I would imagine, that protects the leaves and the fruit. Yet, this is only an educated guess.
Rachel Fell (asker) Jun 12, 2009:
more context also (in a chart): Cosmesi
Cosmesi (colorazione frutti) e contro le scottature solari.
Seems something like "cosmetic appearance" -?

surface treatment

looked up 'cosmetico' and found this connotation. It should work in your case.
Note from asker:
Thank you Cedric - not sure it's nec. treatment (although treatment is entailed)
Something went wrong...
