## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for pistachio orchard management. It allows AI agents to estimate the expected percentage of blank nuts using environmental data like chill hours, bloom temperature, and boron levels. Users can also calculate the alternate bearing index to monitor production stability and receive specific management recommendations to mitigate blank nut formation through cultural practices and pollination timing.

## Tools

### get_alternate_bearing_index
Calculates production stability index

### calculate_blank_percentage


### get_management_recommendations
Provides agricultural recommendations

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the expected blank percentage if I have 500 chill hours, 25 degree bloom temperature, adequate boron, 2 water stress, and a crop load of 100?
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected blank percentage is 12% with a low risk level, primarily driven by the current bloom temperature.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My previous yield was 500 and this year I expect 200. How stable is my production?
```

**Response:** 
```
The alternate bearing index is 0.4, indicating that your production is currently fluctuating.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a predicted blank percentage of 25% and boron is deficient. What should I do?
```

**Response:** 
```
You should apply boron-enriched fertilizer immediately to mitigate the risk of blank nuts.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool calculate blank nut percentages?**
The `calculate_blank_percentage` tool integrates chill hours, bloom temperature, boron status, water stress, and crop load to predict the percentage of empty nuts.

**Can I get advice on how to reduce blank nuts?**
Yes, the `get_management_recommendations` tool provides specific cultural practices and pollination timing advice based on your predicted blank percentage and soil status.

**How do I monitor yield fluctuations?**
You can use the `get_alternate_bearing_index` tool to calculate the stability of your orchard's production between seasons.
