Popis: Controlling pest and disease in agriculture is often carried out chemically using sprayer, one of them is a semi otomatic knapsack sprayer. The source of power and controlling of this equipment comes from man power. The operator must pump the liquid contained in the tank and spray it on the plants. This often causes muscle fatigue among workers. Therefore, analysis is needed related to the workload of farmers when applying knapsack sprayer. Workload analysis is done by recording the heart rate of male and female farmers. The tool used in the measurement is the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). Measurements were made twice, namely measurements during calibration using the step test method and measurements in the field during spraying activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the qualitative workload (fatigue level) and quantitative workload (work energy consumption). The results showed that women had higher levels of fatigue than men, while their energy consumption did not differ significantly. The application of knapsack sprayer in the Wedung sub-district is more suitable for men.
