## Description

This MCP server provides physiological modeling to predict the timing and progression of almond hull splitting. By analyzing variety, growing degree hours, kernel weight, and moisture, it helps growers optimize harvest schedules and manage Navel Orangeworm risks. Use `predict_split_progression` to find split percentages, `calculate_harvest_window` for optimal harvest dates, and `assess_pest_risk` to evaluate pest vulnerability.

## Tools

### assess_pest_risk
Evaluates the vulnerability of the crop to Navel Orangeworm based on predicted hull split timing

### calculate_harvest_window
Identifies the optimal days to begin and end harvest to maximize quality and minimize loss

### predict_split_progression
Determines the percentage of the almond crop that has undergone hull split on a specific date

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What percentage of my Nonpareil almonds will have split by October 15th?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the current data, 65% of the Nonpareil crop is expected to have undergone hull split by October 15th.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
When is my optimal harvest window for this year?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal harvest window is predicted to be from October 20th to October 28th.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a high risk of Navel Orangeworm infestation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is moderate due to the current warm temperature trend and the predicted split date.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does irrigation affect the predictions?**
Deficit irrigation can accelerate the hull split process by reducing hull moisture more rapidly, which is accounted for in the `predict_split_progression` tool.

**Can I use this for varieties other than Nonpareil?**
Yes, the server supports multiple cultivars through the variety parameter in all tools.

**How is pest risk calculated?**
The `assess_pest_risk` tool evaluates vulnerability by looking at the overlap between hull split activity and thermal trends.
