Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This reviewed manuscript is a well-elaborated scientific-research work focused on solution of the problems concerning soil reflux and poor stability of ditch depth in the existing ditching organic fertilization device in grey desert, on the rotary tillage theory as well as on a software simulation, which was performed in order to realise a kinematic analysis of the soil particles and ditching blade in the ditching process using a specified software. It is evident that the authors are professionally well-oriented in the given research area. I appreciate a fact that the theoretical base, which is necessary for a successful solution of the analysed problem, is elaborated on a sufficiently large area within the Chapter 2, “Material and Methods”. Consequently, the Chapter 3 presents the relevant results obtained from the realised analysis and simulations. The given manuscript fulfils the criteria required for publishing of the scientific-research work in this professional journal, however it is necessary to improve it in a following way:

- the Chapter 4. “Discussion” is not elaborated. It is necessary to present a reasonable discussion relating to the obtained results.

- the Chapter 5 “Conclusions” could be a little-bit more extended.

I recommend to publish this article after realisation of these improvements.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

For “1. Introduction”, the background, research gap and study purpose in this part still need to be improved to make this research more clearly and specifically.

For “4. Discussion”, further efforts need to be made to revise the added discussion.

A thorough revision of grammar is necessary.
