## Description

This MCP server provides tools to model pasture growth by accounting for temperature, soil moisture, solar radiation, and nitrogen application. It allows for calculating daily growth rates, simulating seasonal biomass accumulation curves, predicting livestock grazing capacity, and estimating surplus hay production for different grass types like cool-season and warm-season species. Use `calculate_daily_growth` to find immediate biomass production or `predict_grazing_capacity` to plan livestock stocking rates.

## Tools

### calculate_hay_surplus
Estimates the amount of biomass available for hay production after grazing needs are satisfied

### calculate_daily_growth
Determines the specific biomass accumulation for a single day based on current environmental conditions

### predict_grazing_capacity
Determines how many livestock can be sustained by the pasture's annual production

### simulate_seasonal_growth
Projects the growth pattern over a specific period to visualize biomass accumulation trends

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the daily growth rate for a cool-season pasture with 25% soil moisture, 20 degrees Celsius, and 15 units of solar radiation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The daily growth rate for the cool-season pasture is 12.5 kg DM/ha/day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many animal units can I support with 5000 kg DM/ha/year of production if each animal needs 15 kg DM/unit/day for 100 days?
```

**Response:** 
```
The pasture can support 3.33 animal units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much hay can I harvest if I produce 4000 kg DM/ha/year and my livestock consume 3200 kg DM/ha/year?
```

**Response:** 
```
The surplus hay production is 800 kg DM/ha.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What grass types are supported?**
The model supports both cool-season and warm-season grass types.

**How is grazing capacity determined?**
You can use `predict_grazing_capacity` to determine how many animal units can be sustained based on annual production and daily animal demand.

**Can I account for nitrogen application?**
Yes, nitrogen application is a supported input that increases the biological growth potential in the simulation.
