Water Potential Is Critical to Guide Irrigation Timing and Quantity, Dramatically Affecting Crop Yield, Quality, and Water Use Efficiency. Growers Lack Tools to Measure Water Potential Accurately, Automatically, and Long-term, Leading to Preventable Crop Losses and Excess Water Use. Florapulse Has Demonstrated the Only Sensor That Meets These Requirements, a Microtensiometer That Directly Measures Water Potential in the Plant Stem, But the Current Installation Method Is Too Large for a Majority of Commercial Crops (i.e., Corn, Cotton, Blueberry, Etc.).we Aim to Develop an Installation Method That Is 10X Faster, Easier, and Dramatically Smaller to Allow Widespread Water Potential Measurement in Small Crop Stems; as Part of This Effort, We Will Also Survey Crop Wounding Response to Sensor Installation and Validate the Small-stem Installation Method in the Laboratory and Commercial Farms. This Small-stem Sensor Will Enable Realtime Water Potential Measurement in Crops Worth Over $500 Billion Worldwide and Could Lead to 20% Yield Increases and 50% Water Savings.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
