Jul 13
4 min read

This month's release expands Daisy's capabilities and introduces several new features across Mobile, Planter, Frost, and the API.

New in Daisy

Daisy now proactively recommends whether to increase, decrease, or maintain irrigation for every project and explains the reasoning behind each recommendation. You can now:

  • View irrigation recommendations across an entire area

  • See project-level recommendations with detailed explanations

  • Switch seamlessly between agronomic and hydraulic insights in one unified Daisy


Also new in this release:

📱 Mobile

  • Compare hydraulic graphs directly from your phone

  • View the VPD graph alongside your plant and soil data

❄️ Frost

  • Davis Weather Station data is now available inside the Frost app, keeping all your frost-critical information in one place.

🌱 Planner

  • Stop all irrigation in an area with a single action

  • Automatically identify templates affected by configuration changes

  • Edit or delete irrigation plans after they've been sent (supported automation systems)

🔗 API - Two new datasets are now available for integration partners:

  • Hourly Root Zone Data

  • Climate Forecast Endpoint

“Should I adjust my irrigation?”


The question growers ask Daisy most, now answered proactively. Daisy 2.0 is an irrigation decision partner: for every block it recommends increase, decrease, or hold — and explains why. Agronomic and hydraulic, unified in a single Daisy.


The whole farm at a glance -Area mode

Open Daisy on an area and it leads with what needs attention across the farm.

Recommendation Summary

See how many blocks should increase, decrease, or maintain irrigation this week, grouped into an easy-to-expand summary.

Hydraulic Status

A recommendation for every project - Plot mode

Open a block and Daisy provides a clear recommendation for each project:

increase, decrease, or maintain irrigation, including whether to adjust the irrigation amount, frequency, or both.

Explain

Every recommendation includes a clear explanation based on supply vs. demand, soil moisture trends, time to the stress line, and the weather forecast.

Why it matters

What it is

A new VPD graph has been added to the mobile project view.

Why it matters

Track atmospheric water demand alongside your plant and soil measurements from anywhere.

Who it's for

Hourly Root Zone Data

Access hourly root-zone information including saturation, stress line, and safety values in both raw and normalized formats.

Climate Forecast Endpoint

Retrieve forecasted climate data for the coming seven days, including maximum temperature, ET₀, ETc, and humidity.

Why it matters

Irrigators • Farm managers

Template resilience to configuration changes

Planter now detects when valve or pump configuration changes affect irrigation

Who it's for

Irrigators • Farm managers


Delete or edit a plan after "Irrigation Sent"

Edit or delete irrigation plans even after they have been sent.

The irrigation recommendations for every block sound really useful, especially the explanations behind them. I like that they added the VPD graph to mobile too, that makes checking things on the go much easier. Krillion seems like the kind of tool that could save me a lot of time this season.

The appeal of this burnt cheesecake style lies in its contrast between the dark, caramelized exterior and the soft, almost molten center. A thorough explanation of the Basque cheesecake method covers the minimal flour and simple technique that make it so distinctive.

I was just telling my irrigation guy last week we need something like this. The recommendation summary for the whole farm is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been using Meowdoku to track my blocks and now this makes it way easier to see what needs attention first.
