Your irrigation management dashboard is ready
Track real-time readings from your sensors. Green means healthy, red means it's time to irrigate.
Configure stress thresholds for each growth stage. The dashboard tells you exactly when to irrigate.
Use "Next week" view to plan future irrigation based on weather forecasts and current stress levels.
Access from any device. Add to your home screen for app-like experience in the field.
💡 Why it matters: Each growth stage has different water needs. Setting the correct stage ensures your triggers match what your trees need right now.
Each row shows one sensor monitoring a block of trees. For most crops, the key number is the Δbar reading—how far below baseline (fully hydrated) your tree is right now. Some crops (apple, citrus, pear) show SWP in bars instead. Tap any stress reading to see that crop's specific stress levels and what they mean.
Baseline is when a tree has all the water it needs. We measure how far below that point each tree is. Trees shouldn't stay at baseline—constant wetness invites root disease and wastes water.
Healthy irrigation means letting the tree dry out to your trigger point, then irrigating. The tree recovers toward baseline, then gradually dries again. This natural up-and-down rhythm keeps trees healthy while using water efficiently.
After irrigating, the reading should climb back toward baseline but not stay stuck there for days. If it does, you're over-watering—reduce your irrigation amount. If the tree barely recovers, increase it. Use the 30-day chart to see these patterns.
From left to right, each device row shows:

In "Next week" view, tap any future day on the chart or the weather forecast cards to plan irrigation. Enter the hours you plan to run, and it'll show as a lighter bar so you can visualize the schedule.

A quick walkthrough of the main features
The difference between your tree's current water potential and its baseline (fully hydrated state). A value of 0 means at baseline; more negative values (like −5 or −8) indicate the tree is drier and experiencing more water stress. This is the primary metric for irrigation decisions.
The water potential of a fully hydrated tree—when it has all the water it needs. Baseline is calculated from weather data (VPD) and is unique to each crop. Readings are measured relative to this point. Trees shouldn't stay at baseline constantly; healthy irrigation involves cycles of drying and recovery.
A direct measurement of water status inside the plant, measured in bars of pressure. More negative values indicate more stress. For crops without a baseline equation (like apple, citrus, and pear), we display SWP directly instead of Δbar.
The water stress threshold that signals it's time to irrigate. When your tree's reading crosses (becomes more negative than) the trigger line, the dashboard recommends irrigation. Triggers are set per crop stage and change automatically when you update the growth stage.
The current growth phase of your crop (e.g., Bloom, Nut Fill, Hull Split for almonds). Different stages have different water needs and irrigation triggers. Update this as your trees progress through the season—the dashboard may prompt you with a stage nudge when it's time.
A weather-based estimate of how much water the atmosphere "pulls" from plants each day, measured in inches. Higher ETo means faster drying. Shown in the weather forecast when viewing "Next week." Calculated from temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation.
A measure of how "thirsty" the air is, combining temperature and humidity. Higher VPD means the air pulls more water from leaves, increasing plant stress. VPD is used to calculate your tree's baseline.
A strategy of intentionally stressing plants during specific growth stages to improve crop quality (common in wine grapes) or reduce vegetative growth. When using RDI, stress is deliberate, not a problem to fix.
A letter grade (A–F) and percentage showing how often your tree was in the optimal stress zone over a time period. Click the score in any expanded row to see a day-by-day breakdown of too wet, wet, optimal, dry, and too dry days.
The duration water was applied, shown as grey bars in the chart. The water applied badge in each expanded row totals the hours for the selected time range.
A continuous view of raw sensor data throughout the day, not just midday readings. Toggle it with the clock icon in any expanded row. Useful for seeing overnight recovery patterns and irrigation response timing.
A banner that appears in expanded rows when the calendar suggests it may be time to advance to the next growth stage. You can apply the change or dismiss the nudge.
The expand arrow color indicates data freshness. Green = data within 24 hours (normal). Orange = 24–48 hours (stale). Red = 48+ hours (offline). If a device stays red, FloraPulse will be notified.
