## Description

This MCP server provides specialized irrigation management tools for hop growers. It connects AI agents to precise water demand calculations by accounting for crop coefficients ($K_c$), growth stages, and variety types. Use `calculate_daily_demand` to determine daily water needs, `generate_irrigation_schedule` to plan irrigation events based on soil moisture, and `calculate_seasonal_total` to estimate seasonal water requirements. The system specifically addresses the high sensitivity of hop cones to water stress during the `CONE_DEVELOPMENT` stage.

## Tools

### calculate_daily_demand
Calculate daily water demand

### calculate_seasonal_total
Calculate seasonal water total

### generate_irrigation_schedule
Generate irrigation schedule

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much water do I need for 5 hectares of Alpha hops today if the ET is 5.2 and we are in the training stage with 85% efficiency?
```

**Response:** 
```
The daily water requirement for your 5 hectares is 30.59 units, with an irrigation depth of 6.12 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate an irrigation schedule for soil with 50mm capacity and 30mm current moisture, given a daily demand of 5mm.
```

**Response:** 
```
The next irrigation should occur on 2024-06-15 with a recommended volume of 12.5mm. You have 4 days until the next irrigation is required.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the estimated seasonal water total for 10 acres of Aroma hops with a forecast of [4, 5, 6, 5, 4] ET values and 90% efficiency?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total seasonal volume required is 245.5 units, with an average daily demand of 49.1 units.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle different hop varieties?**
The system uses specific crop coefficients for both 'ALPHA' and 'AROMA' varieties to ensure accurate water demand calculations.

**Can I plan my irrigation schedule in advance?**
Yes, you can use `generate_irrigation_schedule` to create a planned sequence of irrigation events based on your current soil moisture and daily demand.

**Does this account for water stress during cone development?**
Yes, by enabling stress sensitivity in the irrigation schedule, the system prioritizes higher moisture levels during the `CONE_DEVELOPMENT` stage to protect cone quality.
