Low cost technologies developed for turmeric production system were tested in ginger
production system. Physiological workload of the selected women workers while
performing selected activities in ginger production system was assessed by heart rate
method. Total 46 healthy farm workers working in the field for 6-7 hrs/ day were selected
for the study. Study was conducted in Pokharni, Katneshwar, Nandgaon, Bharati Camp
Dist. Parbhani & Hatta, Adgaon, Satephal villages of Dist. Hingoli. For collection of data
46 female workers, three replications, 5 activities viz. planting, weeding, earthing up,
fertilizer application, Harvesting, Sorting & cleaning and two methods i. e. existing and
improved were selected. It was seen that Cardiac cost of work for planting and earthing up
activities performed by women farm worker in improved method over existing method
was reduced by 16 and 12 percent respectively in Ginger production system. Rated
perceived exertion was decreased by 13-32 per cent in improved method of planting,
weeding, earthing up and manual fertilizer application and harvesting and cleaning
activities. The developed technologies viz. digging tools (Ukari and finger guards), new
khurpi, Sulbha bag and Earthing up tool (Sawadi) used by farm women in ginger
production system for planting, weeding, earthing up and manual fertilizer application
activities were successful in increasing pace of work.
