How to install FloraPulse 7mm probes with the c-clamp. This is the default way to install FloraPulse sensors into most vines and trees. Use the 7mm sleeve for plants that are at least 16mm in diameter. • Sensor install manual: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ttz9f2... • These sensors measure plant stem water potential, the most accurate indicator of water status (i.e. when plants need water). This technology has been in development at Cornell University and now FloraPulse since 2007, and is the only sensor worldwide that can measure tree water potential directly and long-term. Used by researchers and growers in 20+ countries to measure and manage irrigation! Check out www.florapulse.com for more information. • After 3 years in development, our new and vastly improved 7mm probes are now for sale! While the R D never stops, we’re very happy with the testing and data from these probes and believe it’s time to release them to the wild. • IMPROVEMENTS • Installation is very shallow and measures the outermost (most active) xylem. This makes a big difference in many species, such as grape and citrus, where inner xylem may be disconnected or inactive. • Uses sealant instead of grease for improved reliability, better protection against rain. • Sealant is applied directly to the xylem surface – better protects against wound exudates. • Redesigned for easier removal and re-usability. • Much easier to install – 3d printed brackets and a torque wrench ensure consistent installation. • New installation toolbox. Easily carry and organize the FloraPulse tools for your next field visit. • Dramatically better performance in: • Grape – shallow installation measures this year’s xylem, fewer problems in old/diseased vines, overall higher reliability. • Citrus – improved seal prevents issues with sensor flooding. • Cannabis – first trial looks promising. • Cacao – improved seal prevents issues with sensor flooding. • Corn – first trials look reasonable. • Pistachio – improved seal seems to work better, still testing. • Tomato – good data in tomatoes. • Other small crops – expected to work better as well. • OUTLINE • 0:13 Installation toolkit • 0:17 Sensor and equipment description • 1:10 Attach bottom bracket with hose clamp • 2:18 Cut through bark and phloem with cork borer • 3:40 Scrape off thin xylem layer to prepare for sealing • 4:10 Apply M1 sealant to xylem • 5:26 Push sleeve into trunk with c-clamp • 9:15 Remove cap and foam, then drill into sleeve • 10:37 Add mating compound and place sensor in sleeve • 13:10 Add extra glue around sleeve • 13:39 Zip tie sensor to trunk • 14:02 Add insulation around the sensor
