## Description

This MCP server provides decision support for sugarcane producers to evaluate residue management strategies. It calculates nutrient recycling values, soil carbon contributions, and operational costs for different pathways like burning, baling, or retention. Use `calculate_nutrient_recycling` to find nutrient deficits, `estimate_soil_carbon_impact` for organic matter projections, `calculate_operational_costs` for machinery expenses, and `analyze_yield_and_erosion` to assess soil stability and yield protection.

## Tools

### soil_carbon_impact
Calculates the contribution of residue management to soil organic carbon levels

### nutrient_recycling
Determines the value of nutrients returned to the soil from the available trash

### operational_costs
Estimates the mechanical and labor costs associated with each residue management path

### yield_erosion
Evaluates the agronomic benefits of trash blankets regarding crop yield protection and soil stability

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the nutrient recycling value for 10 tonnes/ha of trash with 0.1% N, 0.05% P, and 0.02% K using retention?
```

**Response:** 
```
The nutrient recycling value is $45.50 per hectare, with a remaining nutrient deficit of $12.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the soil carbon impact for 15 tonnes/ha of trash with 2.5% current SOM using retention.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated carbon contribution is 0.45 tonnes/ha, resulting in a projected SOM of 2.55%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the operational costs for 12 tonnes/ha of trash using baling in a green harvesting system?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total machinery cost is $180.00 per hectare with an operational efficiency score of 0.4.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does retention affect soil health?**
Retention increases soil organic matter and nutrient availability by leaving residue on the field, which can be verified using `estimate_soil_carbon_impact`.

**Can I compare the costs of baling versus burning?**
Yes, use `calculate_operational_costs` to compare the machinery and labor expenses for different management strategies.

**Does residue management help prevent soil erosion?**
Yes, leaving a trash blanket on the soil can mitigate erosion, which you can quantify with `analyze_yield_and_erosion`.
