- Abstract
Water jet technology, as a non-contact cutting and crushing technique, is commonly used in industries such as cleaning, rust removal, cutting, drilling, and mining. It enables a green and environmentally friendly production process by avoiding environmental pollution, heat generation, blade replacement, and sharpening issues. Cutting, cleaning, and crushing techniques are widely applied in various stages of agricultural production, but mostly through contact-based methods. The application of non-contact water jet technology in the agricultural field is still in its infancy. This paper summarized the current application status and research progress of water jet technology in different operational stages of agriculture, including sowing, management, field harvesting, and post-harvest processing. The specific requirements of key parameters for different operational objects and stages were analyzed. Furthermore, the challenges of the application of water jet technology in agriculture were discussed and the research development tendency was prospected. The review intended to provide references for the promotion and green sustainable development of water jet technology in the agricultural field.
