Comparative Analysis of Manual and Mechanised Yam Minisett Planting

Pain in yam cultivation has been identified as critical areas cultivation. The aim of the study was to compare manual and mechanised minisett planting. To address this problem, heart rate (HR) workers during mounding ridging, planting were measured well assessing economic feasibility mechanising Polar watch (RS 800 CX) used measure HR operations. Hoe cutlasses for ridging. tractor operator determined. Descriptive statistics analysis variance (ANOVA) done using GenStat software (VSN International, 2011). Statistical significance carried out at p<0.05. field capacity 3.84 1.45 h/ha manual, respectively. mean 112.80 112.7 bpm ridging respectively while 112.00, 132.00 Mechanised reduces labour cost by 50%.
