| dc.description.abstract | Farm women are involved where work load is more and they continue to use age old implements which are slow in operation, cause fatigue and drudgery. A number of implements are now available to reduce drudgery. Hence the research was conducted to study the perception of farm women about the efficiency of selected drudgery reducing farm implements and extent of women participation in agricultural operations. The Kolar, Tumlcur and Chitrhradurga districts were selected for the study. The data was collected using an interview schedule. Majority of the women were middle aged, illiterate, had medium level of annual income, medium household work stress and achievement motivation. Cent per cent of the farm women respondents reported that the Improved Weeder (Ground nut) is helpful in avoiding strenuous movement of hands, improved naveen sickle is helpful in avoiding, hitting the fingers to the ground and groundnut decorticator is helpful in avoiding strained movements of fingers. Their participation was at 'high' level in agricultural activities like cleaning and drying produce, animal husbandry activities like milking and cleaning cattle shed. Age, extension participation, household work stress and innovative proneness were found to have significant relationship with perception on the efficiency of dmdgery reducing farm implements. Implement possession, extension participation and social participation had significant relationship with the participation in agricultural activities. Average area covered by the weeder was 0.43 acre while in manual operation it was only 0.09 acre. The capacity of improved naveen sickle is 0.22 acre/day while in case of traditional sickle it was only 0.04 acre. The capacity of groundnut decorticator was 29.9 kgs/hr, as compare to only 2.89 Kgs/hr in case of manual method. Majority of them faced constraints in operating the weeder when there is less moisture condition. Half of them expressed that the sickle is heavy and the girth of the handle is not in accordance with the palm size. About 40 per cent of the women expressed that the ground nut decorticator is heavy to operate and it also causes back ache. | en_US |
