Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper is showed a study and a field trial conducted in China with the aim to evaluate the performance of a rice seeder. 

Generally, an English review must be made by a native speaker

The term velocity must be changed in most cases considering that is related to a scalar value

Methods must be separated from Results, and a Results and Discussion section is suggested 

Scientific notation must be reviewed and constant throughout the document

Other suggestion are pointed in the attached file

I hardly suggest an English review by a native speaker

Reviewer 2 Report

·       Abstract needs more details from results.

·       The goal of the research does not appear the novelty of it. Should explain clearly.

·       Should add an information detail for the instruments in Figure 1.

·       Section 5.3 Experiment results and analyses need more discussion as a general.

·       Conclusions is week, and need improvement.

·       Numbers of references are not as important for the topic of the paper. Furthermore, some references are from more than 10 years ago as 2005, 2006. 2010, 2011, and 2012. Should change these references and get new of it within 10 years ago.

 

·       English language should be improved.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

The document is much better improved,  although must still be revised:

1. Improving the Introduction section mention some information about rice crop performance related to the issue you are studying;

2. Improve Discussion. In practice, you present the results but you don´t discuss them sufficiently according to the bibliography

3. The way you present the results of the ANOVA must be mentioned in scientific notation and not as a sentence...

4.Other suggestions along the document.
