Though the technological advancement in agriculture sector is enhancing the performance of workers, a lot of agricultural activities are predominantly carried out manually. In order to develop the ergonomically fit farm hand tools and equipment, region-specific body dimension data are required. In the present study, 18 body dimensions including age and weight are measured for 200 male agricultural workers from the five districts of Haryana state. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) for body weight and stature of the population is calculated as 67.5 ± 10.8 kg and 171.83 ± 6.22 cm, respectively. Average grip strength for dominant and opposite hand is found as 45.6 ± 7.2 kg and 44.06 ± 7.6 kg, respectively. A correlation coefficient matrix is developed and stature is observed to be highly correlated with other body dimensions. Linear regression equations are developed for those body dimensions which are highly correlated with stature, though a significant variation is observed among the morphological characteristics of Haryana population, other regions of India and the population of other nations as well. Hence, it recommends to modify or redesign the existing farm tools for the Haryana region using scientific principles of anthropometric database of farmers.
