Abstract: China is a large agricultural country. Agricultural development is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and farming is an important part of agricultural production. With the development of Agricultural Mechanization in China, the energy consumption of farming is too high, which has become one of the main problems that must be faced in agricultural production. As a widely used farming method, the research on the technology of reducing resistance and consumption is of great practical significance to the sustainable development of agriculture in China. This paper introduces the main research points of the technology of reducing resistance and consumption in rotary tillage, and analyzes the research progress of the technology of reducing resistance and consumption in four aspects in China and abroad, which are structure optimization of rotary tillage cutter roll, bionic resistance reduction, vibration resistance reduction and combination of agricultural machinery and Agronomy, and points out the existing problems in the development of the technology of reducing resistance and consumption in rotary tillage at present. Based on the analysis of the research status at home and abroad, this paper proposes to further improve the theoretical system of rotary blade design in China, enhance the mutual confirmation of simulation test and actual test, develop the instruments and test platform for the micro stress and deformation detection of rotary blade, and reveal the mechanism of the interaction between rotary blade and soil, so as to lay a perfect theoretical foundation and research conditions for the high quality and high efficiency development of rotary tillage drag reduction technology in China.
