How does the tool account for lime quality?

The `calculate_lime_rate` tool uses the Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE) and the fineness factor to adjust the total lime requirement, ensuring the calculation reflects the actual effectiveness of the material.

Can I estimate the total cost of my soil treatment?

Yes, you can use the `estimate_liming_cost` tool. By providing the lime rate and the unit price, the tool calculates both the material cost and the total investment including application costs.

What soil properties are required for the calculation?

To get an accurate result from `calculate_lime_rate`, you need to provide the current pH, target pH, the buffering method (SMP or BaseSaturation), and soil properties including clay content, organic matter, and CEC.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for agricultural soil management. It allows AI agents to determine the exact amount of lime needed to reach a target pH by analyzing soil buffering capacity, including clay content, organic matter, and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Users can use calculate_lime_rate to find the required tonnage, estimate_liming_cost to project financial investments, recommend_application_timing to plan application windows based on lime fineness, and get_soil_classification to understand soil types and buffering tiers.
