“…Tillage-as a key agricultural process that strongly influences physical, chemical, and biological soil properties-has a major impact on the agricultural ecosystem and crop productivity, which in turn determines the yield of the crops grown in the soil [1]. Plowing is one of the main technological operations in agricultural production and has a direct impact on the quality of crop growth [2,3]. According to Schneider et al [4], deep plowing is required in many crop production fields to provide deep-rooted plants with additional nutrients stored in the subsoil.…”

Tillage, as a key agricultural operation, has an important influence on soil properties and crop productivity. However, tillage at the same depth is not always the best choice as differences in soil texture, compacted topsoil, or plow pan at different depths, crop rotation, and root penetration potential signal that the depth of tillage should take greater account of the factors involved. Variable depth tillage (VDT) is an important precision farming operation, linking soil, plants, tillage machinery, smart sensors, measuring devices, computer programs, algorithms, and variability maps. This topic is important from an agronomic, energy, and environmental perspective. However, the application of VDTs in practice is currently still very limited. The aim of this study was to carry out a detailed review of scientific work on variable depth tillage, highlighting the importance of soil compaction and VDT; the measurement methods and equipment used; and the impact on soil, crops, the environment, and the economy. Based on the reviewed studies, there is a lack of studies that use fully automated depth control of tillage systems based on input data obtained with on-the-go (also known as online) proximal soil sensing. In precision agriculture, rapidly developing Internet of Things technologies allow the adaptation of various farming operations—including tillage depth—to site-specific and temporal conditions. In this context, the use of proximal soil sensing technologies coupled with electromagnetic induction, gamma rays, and multi-sensor data fusion to provide input for recommended tillage depth would be beneficial in the future. The application of VTD in specific areas is promising as it helps to reduce the negative effects of soil compaction and avoid unnecessary use of this expensive and environmentally damaging technological operation.

“…Compared with the rapid development of international facility agriculture, the mechanization degree of facility agriculture in China only accounts for approximately 33%. The low level of mechanization and intelligent operation remains one of the current difficulties [1] . Ploughing is an important and basic link in agricultural production, and the quality of the operation determines crop growth [2] .…”

The research on the self-propelled electric tiller is vital for further improving the quality and efficiency of greenhouse rotary tillage operation, reducing the work intensity and operation risk of operators, and achieving environmentally friendly characteristics. Most of the existing self-propelled tillers rely on manual adjustment of the tillage depth. Moreover, the consistency and stability of the tillage depth are difficult to guarantee. In this study, the automatic control method of tillage depth of a self-propelled electric tiller is investigated. A method of applying the fuzzy PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control method to the tillage depth adjustment system of a tiller is also proposed to realize automatic control. The system uses the real-time detection of the resistance sensor and angle sensor. The controller runs the electronically controlled hydraulic system to adjust the force and position comprehensively. The fuzzy control algorithm is used in the operation error control to realize the double-parameter control of the tillage depth. The simulation and experimental verification of the system are conducted. Results show that the control system applying fuzzy PID can improve the soil breaking rate by 3% in the operation process based on reducing the stability variation of tillage depth by 24%. The control strategy can reach the set value of tillage depth quickly and accurately. It can also meet the requirement of tillage depth consistency during the operation.
