The invention relates to a protective coating that can be applied as a phytosanitary protection means to protect against agricultural pests and diseases and to a method for applying same. The coating includes a food agent that forms a film (2) which covers the plant (4) to be treated, forming a basic element representing between 3 and 60 wt.-% in a complex that can also include an active agent (3) formed by other substances having a specific activity, such as organic or aqueous natural extracts of species and plants, natural or plant-isolated active compounds, insecticides, biological acaricides or other substances having an analogous behaviour, representing between 0.0001 and 60 wt.-%. The coating can also include horticultural or mineral oils, coadjuvants, reinforcing substances and/or additives and pesticides, including fungicides and herbicides, fertilisers and biocontrol agents. The invention can be applied in the form of pure formulations, mixtures or solutions by means of spraying, fogging, wetting, atomisation or any other system.
