Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. The hardware configuration of UAV seeding system should be given.

2. The English should be polished.

3. Recent work in the field of UAV should be cited (Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol., 2022, 10, 903219).

Reviewer 2 Report

With the rapidly development of UAV precise control technology, it has been widely used in kinds of industries. In this manuscript, authors focus on problem of difficult seeding of ground equipment in complex terrain, an aerial precision seeding system integrating GUI, afforestation UAV, GPS and information interaction is developed by UAV technology. The research work was carried out around the sowing depth and seed launching speed in sandy loam soil, and the test results were obtained.

It has innovative and practical, especially for mountainous, swampy, desert and other special terrain areas. The research content has important practical significance.

Reviewer 3 Report

In this manuscript, a UAV seeding system is presented. Topic is interesting, but I think it is possible to improve its quality according to the following comments:

-          Please define all abbreviations in the first position.

-          Introduction: It is necessary to mention and discuss papers that presented a system like your seeding system.

-          Originality: I can understand the aim of this study, but I cannot find what is new? Please describe clearly it in the introduction.

-          Method: in this section, descriptions regarding UAV and its system are presented and results are different from this section. In the method section, we must see descriptions regarding results.

-          It is recommended to present a workflow regarding the methodology.

-          Figure 5: please show points in the missions.

-          Please define all unites in tables.

-          Again, I think there is a big gap between methodology (regarding UAV and its components) and results (regarding the performance of UAV in seeding).
