Micro Electric Shocks Control Broadleaved and Grass Weeds

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

      Electric shock weeding is really an interesting attempt. When working, it will produce a large amount of current, destroy the cell structure of weeds and inhibit their growth process. However, as an academic paper, there are still some deficiencies in the article. There are many details in the article, the pictures are fuzzy and unclear, and the experimental part is not described clearly. The author needs to check the manuscript carefully to significantly improve the quality of the manuscript.

1. In the introduction, we need to further elaborate the latest achievements in this research field, and highlight the innovation of this paper to meet the requirements of journals.

2. Precise weeding has been mentioned many times in the article. How can it be reflected?

3. The test part needs to be supplemented with test equipment and test scene construction, as well as blank control test.

4. Electric shock weeding will affect the soil structure, kill beneficial microorganisms in the soil, and affect biodiversity. In addition, how to ensure the safety of plants during field operations.

5. Since voltage and energy are important factors, how to analyze the methods of obtaining the effective energy through experiments is not very clear.

     In addition, the format is chaotic, the references are old, and the quality of a large number of data curves in the article needs to be further improved. It is suggested that the content of the article be further condensed to improve the quality of the manuscript.
