## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for managing Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) risks. Use `calculate_population_growth` to predict end-of-season egg counts based on soil texture and variety resistance. Determine potential damage with `estimate_yield_impact` and decide on interventions using `recommend_management_action`. For long-term planning, `suggest_rotation_strategy` provides crop rotation advice based on risk levels.

## Tools

### calculate_population_growth
Predicts the total nematode population at the end of the growing season

### estimate_yield_impact
Calculates the expected percentage of soybean yield lost to the nematode population

### recommend_management_action
Determines if a management intervention is economically justified

### suggest_rotation_strategy
Provides a long-term crop rotation plan based on current risk levels

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What will the nematode population be if I start with 50 eggs/100cc in sandy soil with a resistance rating of 0.8 and no nematicide?
```

**Response:** 
```
The projected egg count at the end of the season is 72.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If my final egg count is 200 and the previous crop was corn, what is the expected yield loss?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted yield loss is 15%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a high risk level in clay soil. What rotation should I use?
```

**Response:** 
```
The suggested rotation plan is to plant non-host crops like corn or wheat, which will highly effectively reduce the population.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I predict future nematode populations?**
You can use the `calculate_population_growth` tool by providing the initial egg count, soil texture, and resistance rating.

**Can this tool help with economic decisions?**
Yes, `recommend_management_action` compares predicted yield loss against expected yield value to suggest if an intervention is economically justified.

**How does soil texture affect the results?**
Soil texture is a key input for `calculate_population_growth` because it influences nematode mobility and survival rates.
