## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for managing potato storage. It allows users to calculate precise CIPC inhibitor application rates using `calculate_inhibitor_application`, forecast the end of dormancy with `predict_dormancy_break`, and identify alternative management strategies via `get_alternative_treatment_schedule` when residue limits are reached.

## Tools

### get_alternative_treatment_schedule
Provides alternative management paths if CIPC application is restricted by residue limits or if extended storage is needed

### calculate_inhibitor_application
Determines the required amount of CIPC to apply based on current storage parameters

### predict_dormancy_break
Forecasts when the potato variety will naturally lose dormancy and begin sprouting

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much CIPC do I need for 5000kg of potatoes with 60 days dormancy at 4 degrees Celsius for 10 weeks?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required application rate is 0.05 kg/tuber weight, totaling 250 kg of CIPC, with an estimated control end in week 12.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
When will my potatoes sprout if they have been stored for 30 days at 5 degrees Celsius with a 90-day dormancy?
```

**Response:** 
```
The potatoes are expected to begin sprouting in approximately 45 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 0.5 mg/kg residue and the limit is 0.6 mg/kg. Can I apply more CIPC?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, applying more CIPC would exceed the maximum allowed residue limit.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the amount of inhibitor needed?**
Use the `calculate_inhibitor_application` tool by providing the tuber weight, variety dormancy days, storage temperature, and target control weeks.

**Can I predict when my potatoes will start sprouting?**
Yes, the `predict_dormancy_break` tool uses thermal time accumulation to forecast the remaining days until sprouting.

**What happens if I reach the maximum residue limit?**
If residue limits prevent further CIPC use, use `get_alternative_treatment_schedule` to find alternative methods like temperature reduction.
