About
FloraPulse
Retire the pressure chamber, know exactly when to irrigate, increase crop yield and quality.
Let your trees tell you when to irrigate.
Know exactly when your trees need water — not from the soil, not from the weather, but from the tree itself. FloraPulse sensors are embedded directly into the trunk, measuring stem water potential every 20 minutes — the most accurate indicator of plant water stress. Readings are delivered to your phone with color-coded stress levels and irrigation triggers tailored to your crop.
Growers typically save 15–40% on water with higher yields, better fruit quality, and healthier trees.

For Scientists →How It Works
Install
A tiny sensor is embedded into the trunk in minutes. Two probes per tree for redundancy, plus a solar-powered cellular datalogger.
Monitor
Readings every 20 minutes, delivered to your phone. See real-time stem water potential with weather-adjusted baselines.
Irrigate
Color-coded stress levels and crop-specific triggers tell you exactly when to water. No guesswork.
Customer Testimonials
“It’s extremely helpful, especially when you’re trying to manage multiple crops. Everybody’s trying to run small crews nowadays. From a time management side, (FloraPulse) is really nice. Several times I wouldn’t think I needed to irrigate yet, and it’s like, oh, wow, I definitely need to irrigate.”
Sohnrey Family Foods
Orland, California
“We switched to FloraPulse plant stress sensors and holy moly, having real time data on plant stress is pretty wild. We were used to looking at polaroids. Now we’re looking at a feature length film. It’s a brave new world.”
Advanced Viticulture
Windsor, California
“I can’t imagine growing apples without FloraPulse. By monitoring water potentials, I’ve optimized our irrigation approach to frequent, smaller applications almost daily.”
Bittner-Singer Orchards
Appleton, New York
“The data we received from the FloraPulse sensors in prune fits the pressure chamber measurements and has proven very useful. Having daily water potential measurements has allowed us to decrease water use by 45%, to save on water pumping costs, drying costs and increase our fruit size and dry weight yields.”

Common Questions
What crops do you support?
Almonds, wine grapes, table grapes, cherries, prunes, apples, olives, peaches, pears, and more. 15+ crop types across 23+ countries.
Do I need WiFi or internet in the field?
No. The datalogger has built-in cellular connectivity and solar power. It works anywhere with cell coverage — no WiFi, no wiring, no power source needed.
Can I try it for one season?
Yes. Subscriptions are annual with no long-term commitment. Most growers renew because the data pays for itself in water savings and yield gains.
How long does installation take?
About 30 minutes per tree. In our service area, we handle everything. For remote customers, self-install is straightforward with our guided support.
