CTGAN-based multi-objective optimization of rotary tillage blade design for coastal saline alkaline soils

Key Points

• Improved blade design enhances soil interaction and minimizes resistance during tillage operations, resulting in better performance.
• The optimization achieved a reduction in soil compaction by 25%, thereby increasing crop yield potential.
• CTGAN-based multi-objective optimization was employed to balance blade performance and durability under specific soil conditions.
• This work supports the need for tailored agricultural tools in challenging saline and alkaline environments, maximizing agricultural output.
