Mineral-doped quantum fertilizers: boron-doped carbon dots promote sustainable agriculture and bacterial disease management

without adversely affecting beneficial soil microbes. Furthermore, B-QDs displayed potent antibiofilm activity, validating their dual function as both plant growth promoters and eco-friendly antimicrobial agents. These seminal findings catalyze a new scientific quest to harness the power of "quantum fertilizers" toward advanced sustainable agriculture and next-generation plant disease management.
