This paper aims at reviewing biomimetic works done on investigating the effect of non smooth surfaces on soil resistance based on the functional mechanisms of living organisms which burrow the soil.These include wild boar,dung beetle,mole cricket and earthworms being applied to such implements as ridger,mouldboard plough,disc ploughs and cultivators.The characteristics of soil-burrowing animals for improved soil scouring and their mechanism for reducing soil adhesion and friction are also discussed.From past research work,it can be concluded that non smooth surfaces can indeed reduce soil resistance however the extent of reduction is still a gray area.
