## Description

This MCP server provides precise agricultural water management by implementing the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration model. It allows AI agents to calculate atmospheric water demand via `calculate_et_reference`, determine specific crop requirements with `calculate_crop_demand`, and produce actionable plans using `generate_irrigation_schedule`. You can also monitor plant health by using `check_soil_moisture_status` to identify potential water stress risks based on soil capacity and daily demand.

## Tools

### calculate_crop_demand
Calculates the specific water requirement for a given crop type and growth stage

### calculate_et_reference
Determines the atmospheric water demand (ETo) based on meteorological data

### check_soil_moisture_status
Evaluates if a specific soil moisture level is sufficient to sustain the crop until the next scheduled event

### generate_irrigation_schedule
Produces the final actionable irrigation plan including depth, timing, and volume

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reference evapotranspiration for 25°C, 50% humidity, 2 m/s wind speed, and 15 MJ/m2 solar radiation.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) is 4.2 mm/day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the crop water demand if the ETo is 5 mm/day and the crop coefficient is 0.8?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total crop evapotranspiration (ETc) is 4.0 mm/day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate an irrigation schedule for a crop needing 5 mm/day, with 2 mm of effective rainfall, 30 mm soil capacity, and 80% efficiency.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required irrigation depth is 4.38 mm, with a suggested frequency of 6 days between irrigations, totaling 26.25 mm³ per unit area.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool calculate water needs?**
It uses the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method, which balances atmospheric demand (evapotranspiration) against soil water availability and effective rainfall.

**Can I check if my crops are at risk of water stress?**
Yes, by using the `check_soil_moisture_status` tool, you can determine if current soil moisture levels are sufficient to sustain the crop until the next irrigation event.

**What inputs are required for the irrigation schedule?**
To generate a schedule, you need the daily crop water demand (ETc), effective rainfall, soil water holding capacity, and the irrigation system efficiency.
