The field experiment was conducted at agronomy field DBSKKV, Dapoli, on the traditional method of paddy transplanting and manual paddy transplanter. Eight male and seven female workers were participated in this activity. The mean working heart rate (WHR) during traditional method of paddy transplanting for male and female subject were 105.9 (±4.01) and 106.97 (±3.39) bpm, respectively, While mean WHR for male workers with manual paddy transplanter was 128.44 (±12.38) bpm. The field capacity for traditional method of paddy transplanting for male and female workers were 0.0040 ha/h (40 m2/h) and 0.0038 ha/h (38 m2/h), respectively. The workloads for male and female workers was "Moderately heavy" for traditional method of paddy transplanting. The field capacity and field efficiency with manual paddy transplanter were 0.020 ha/h and 47.75 per cent, respectively, with 21(DAS) nursery. The workload was "heavy" for manual paddy transplanter. Hence, the field capacity with manual paddy transplanter was 5 times more as compared to traditional method of transplanting. The working heart rate (WHR) with manual paddy transplanter for male workers was 0.82 more as compared to traditional paddy transplanting.Keywords

This field experiment was conducted at Agronomy field, DBSKKV, Dapoli. Three different ages of nursery as 21, 28 and 35 DAS were taken for study. Plant and field parameters were measured during operation with manual paddy transplanter (hand cranked). The 21 (DAS) nursery required less time (25 min) for upischolar_maining and preparing ischolar_main washed seedlings from area of 1 m2 as compared to that of for 28 (DAS) (35 min) and 35 (DAS) (42 min) nursery. Missing of hills were also less in 21 (DAS) nursery. The field capacity with existing manual paddy transplanter (hand cranking) was 0.020 ha/h for 21 (DAS) nursery, whereas, for 28 and 35(DAS) nursery it was found 0.018 ha/h and 0.019 ha/h, respectively. Hence, 21 (DAS) nursery was found suitable for manual paddy transplanter (hand cranking).Keywords

The study highlights the performance of different shelling machines used in Kokan region of Maharashtra. The effect of cashew nut size on performance of cashew nut shelling machines and there comparative differences between three shelling machines were studied. It was found that, the size of cashew nut had significant effect on the shelling efficiency of machine. The per cent shelling efficiency of the machine increased with increase in size of cashew nut. The manual operated shelling machine showed higher shelling efficiency as compared to traditional and improved power operated shelling machine. It is also observed that the improved power operated machine had lower uncut, breakage, higher whole kernel recovery and cashew nut picking efficiency as compared with traditional power operated and manual shelling machine. Operating cost of manual, traditional and improved power operated cashew nut shelling machine were 7, 3.12 and 2.31 Rs./kg, respectively. Operating cost of improved shelling machine was 66 per cent and 57.4 per cent higher as compared to manual and traditional power operated shelling machine, respectively. Improved power operated shelling machine saved monthly Rs. 21138/- as compared to manually operate shelling machine.Keywords
