Ergonomics is the scientific study of the relationship between man and his working environment.
The ergonomically designed things make the life style better. Women’s contribution to agriculture is
seldom recognized in spite of their active role in the agriculture as well as household activities in
developed as well as developing world. The selected 30 farm women who were engaged in cotton
picking since 5 yrs belonging to age groups of 20 – 50 yrs were selected for the experiment. The
present study was conducted in four villages of Parbhani and Beed districts of Marathwada region of
Maharashtra State. Comparative evaluation was worked out between cotton picking apron
developed by AICRP Family Resource Management, College of Home Science M.K.V. Parbhani
and pick bag developed by Family Resource Management, College of Home Science, CCS, H.A.U.
Hisar. The heart rate of female workers was more while performing cotton picking activity in pick
bag method. The rated perceived exertion was highest in case of pick bag method. Ergonomically
physiological workload of cotton picking was at par in case of traditional, pick bag and apron
method. It has been concluded that there was reduction in physiological cost of work when cotton
picking activity was performed with cotton picking apron. From this study it was concluded that
cotton picking is recommended for reduction of drudgery with certain improvements.
