Hey, great review on natural QS inhibitors! But I’m a bit curious; how do we actually make these lab-friendly QSIs work in the real field?

Will they last outside the lab? Sunlight, rain, heat, many natural compounds break down fast. Any tricks to keep them stable long-term?
How do we deliver them properly? Spraying essential oils sounds easy, but will plants absorb them? Nano-stuff sounds cool, but is it tested yet?
Are they too friendly? If they mess with bad bacteria’s QS, could they accidentally bother the good microbes too? Any data on that?

Just wondering; awesome work, but farming isn’t a Petri dish!
