  "_note": "WATERING DECISION THRESHOLDS per crop, used by src/watering.py. soil_moisture_pct = soil moisture in percent (0-100). Decision: moisture < min -> water_now; > max -> hold_water; missing -> check_data. ph/temp extremes add reason codes (ph_low/ph_high/air_temp_high/soil_temp_high). Values are standard agronomic reference ranges - calibrate with your own field data/sensors over time. 'rice' is included for paddy even though the image dataset has no rice class.",
