So total, okay, aside, I'll shut up.

No, but that, that's totally online with what we're talking about because there's two different things when you're talking about like w- crop load management is essentially another thing that we think about too with p- and that's important with perennial crops.

But I usually think about, you know, these environmental triggers in two different ways, right? So one is just an energy input-output kind of thing.

So a lot of the times when I'm thinking about plant defenses, and we're thinking about like constitutive secondary plant metabolites, you know, when we're talking about secondary plant metabolites, those are all the chemicals that plants make to defend themselves against my guys, my insects, right? And so if you are...

They call them secondary metabolites because they're secondary to the primary metabolites, which is like the carbohydrates, and the proteins, and all the things that they need to make more plant and make more fruit or whatever you're selling.

So if they have to take that energy to make their secondary plant metabolites to defend against insects or this, that, and the other thing, they're spending less energy on what we want them to do, right? So that's one thing is like that economics of the plant and taking its nutrients and turning into things.

But then there's something else which I think what, is what you're talking about, which is triggering some seasonality.

So we can just say what are your thoughts on thrips? What are your thoughts on these questions?

So since this is your second time on the podcast, and we talked a lot about New Hampshire Community Supported Research last time, do you wanna just give the elevator speech for New Hampshire Community Supported Research real quick in case people missed that one? And if they're interested, they can backtrack and listen to that one for all the details, but then at least p- if people haven't caught that one, they can just plow through and, and they'll know what this New Hampshire Community Supported Research that we speak of is.

That would be fantastic.

Yes.

So I am an ex-USDA researcher, an ex-UNH researcher.

You know, I've been doing entomological applied research for a really long time, and I'm kind of trying to level the playing field a little bit with New Hampshire Community Supported Research because a lot of the research we've done before is very targeted to a very specific type of grower.

So I think getting questions like the questions that we got from your Instagram posts were awesome because I'm like, "Oh, I didn't know about that." Like, oh, like it's very informative because I wanna get in touch with people I don't usually get in touch with.

Something that I am spending a lot of time doing right now is ... communicating with other extension educators in the region.

Oh, okay.
