What’s New in FloraPulse: Spring 2026 Dashboard Updates
We have been busy this spring building features that our growers asked for. The theme behind every update is the same: give you better information, faster, so you can spend less time staring at screens and more time in the field. Here is a look at what is new.
See How Your Trees Respond After Every Irrigation
The dashboard now tracks what happens to your plant water stress after each irrigation event. Colored shading on the chart covers the 48 hours following every irrigation: green means your trees recovered well, yellow means partial recovery, and red means the set did not move the needle.
Response cards below the chart show before-and-after stress readings, a recovery bar, and a plain-English outcome. Once you have three or more irrigations in view, FloraPulse calculates your average recovery rate and full-recovery percentage. Over time, this builds real intuition about how your specific blocks respond to water.
Weekly Digest Emails
Not everyone has time to log in every day. FloraPulse now sends a weekly email digest every Monday morning with everything you need to plan your week. Devices are sorted by urgency — blocks that need attention show up first. You get the current stress level, trend direction, last week’s irrigation response, a weather recap, and a 7-day forecast outlook. Turn it on or off anytime under Notifications in your settings.
Growing Degree Days Built Into Your Dashboard
Growing Degree Days (GDD) are now woven throughout the dashboard. The forecast bar shows daily GDD accumulation alongside temperature and precipitation. The stage guide displays a progress bar showing where you are in the season relative to typical GDD thresholds for each growth stage. And when you approach a stage transition, a nudge banner tells you — for example, that your almonds are 85% of the way to hull split based on accumulated heat units.
Instead of relying on calendar dates alone, you can now confirm stage transitions with actual thermal accumulation data.
Chart Annotations: Your Field Diary, Right on the Chart
You can now add notes directly to your stress charts. Tap a date and log what happened: fertilizer applications, mowing, frost events, pruning, pest sprays, harvest, or manual irrigation. Each note shows as a colored marker on the chart so you can see how field activities correlate with stress changes. Notes with numeric values can be plotted as a secondary data series, and everything you log shows up in your PDF reports and CSV exports automatically.
More Improvements
- Richer CSV exports — downloads now include planned irrigation hours, high/low temperature, ET0, precipitation, and your notes. A complete field diary you can hand to your agronomist or share with your water district.
- Rain probability now appears in the forecast bar on days where rain is likely, so you can factor it into scheduling.
- Baseline accuracy has been improved. We fixed an issue where the baseline reference could drift, so your delta-bar readings are more reliable day to day.
- Mobile improvements — better touch handling for irrigation planning, smoother chart interactions, and fewer accidental taps.
- Fields grouping for operations with multiple blocks. Devices can be organized by field, each with its own crop stage configuration.
All of these updates are live now in your FloraPulse dashboard. If you have questions or feedback, reach out — your input drives every one of these improvements.
