Abstract/Description: | A sample of 50 farm women involved in soybean production system was selected from five villages of Parbhani district. Pretested interview schedule was used to collect the data. The activities performed by the farm women in selected production system were listed out. Six variables were selected for characterizing drudgery of women in selected three production systems such as Physical load, Postural load, Repetitive strain load, Time load, Musculo skeletal Discomfort (MSD) load and Physiological load. Drudgery index was calculated based on total drudgery load. Drudgery index was identified as medium to high in case of Soybean production system. Significant variation was observed due to factors contributing to drudgery of women labourer in Soybean production system. The study revealed that drudgery of women labourers in Soybean cultivation is characterized by physiological, physical and repetitive strain load experienced due to lack of protective aids and appropriate technologies. Result emphasized the need of designing cost-effective tools/ implements, techniques based on ergonomic consideration. |
