Seeds harvested in 2022 and maintained under standard conditions showed significant improvements compared to the control group when subjected to combined biostimulation at reduced pressure and immersion in a carbon nanocluster solution. Germination time was shortened, with germination capacity increasing by 35% for Zea mays L. and 15% for Triticum aestivum L. These findings suggest that nanotechnology could enhance seed performance, supporting sustainable agriculture and meeting the rising demand for healthy, sustainably produced food.enbiostimulationcarbon nanoclustersgerminationsustainable agricultureArticle
