Strong soil-tool adhesion on soil-engaging components is a key factor leading to the energy consumption and agricultural tool damage in agriculture tillage. A number of chemical and physical strategies have been widely proposed to eliminate soil-tool adhesion, but subjecting to limited anti-soil capabilities. In this work, we present an earthworm-inspired matter-repellent surface by stably grafting dimethyl dimethoxy silicane and infusing silicone oil, allowing for a superior resistance to soil-steel adhesion in an eco-friendly mode. The presence of such coating enables a theoretical adhesion work reduction by 10 times, thereby resulting in robust repellency to stick soil. Furthermore, the influence of water fraction in soil, adhesion velocity, and adhesion angle on the anti-soil performance of matter-repellent surfaces are fully revealed to guide its potential application in agricultural tools. It is anticipated that incorporating our matter-repellent coating into soil-engaging components is beneficial to the development of agricultural machinery.
