Agricultueal mechanization could be cifined as the 8ubstitution
of muscular power of man and animal by mechanical power
in producing farm products .Agricultural mechanization could be
categorized into partial mechanization where machines are used
to fullfil one process or several processes, and comprehensive
mechanization where all pperations on the farm are mechanized •
Mechanization becomes a necessity to agriculture because
of lack of man power, increase of agricultral area intensification
of agriculture, to save time, reduce costs of production,
to speed up :••• operations, control of water used in irrigation
to increase production and decrease losses to a minial rate •
Economic growth mean. the cWRulative increaae in both the
national and individual income which results fro. better utilization
of accessible resources. Agricultural progress is of
primary importanc in economic growth because of ita -ajor role
in promoting of non agricultur~l sectors. Some workers envisage
three steps for economic development. Frist step deals with the
setting-up of development environment, secand deals with education
, scientfic research and training, and thrid step deals
with accumulating of funds in amounts enough to finance the
mechanization program •

~ae survey and sample analys~~ :-
Tbi.study has bean conducted in kalubia Governorate.
Several villages were chosen for this survey. Elhisa and
Elhadadin were chosen as example of mech~~ized farming and
conventional farming where, as Elshomote, was chosen as an
example of a semi-mechanized farming. The ,u••wtaal•• was ap
applied on a ’o:undred.fort;;~ fa’:;::>:’lo3. For”’:-] .farll from each village
were interviewed with the uelp of an questi~ consietiD.3
of four major parts. These were, personal information, social,
preference of type of farping, cost esti~tes of some operations
of growing cotton and wheat in both convengional and
me~hahhzed farming and the last part is related to the probl- _3 facing spread of _ chanization and sug3estion to
liolving them •
The sample surveyed covered different a3s groups, educational
status, profession, family size of l~nd holding, types
nf h~lding akd size of labdirused either fro~ withen the f~ily
or outside. The sample was gDouped according to the previlud
crit8ri~ ~3 percent~ges from the total number.
Type of farming preference WeiS found to correlate with
the above mentioned criteria. When the relationship between

Ho.ever, the relat ionship (- P ::: 0.65, df::: 1) was not
certain between age, type of land holding, family labour
and non ~ily labour and prefereace of type of mechanization
’rhe sampled villages wera arranged according to their
pl)oduction and income as follows, the mechanized farms the
conventional farms and finally the semi- mechanized farms

in case of the tradit1nal village, variable costs tended to
decrease’ with mecnanzation thus, the effect of mechamization
was evident

production were analysed using the regresiion producedure to
determine linearity or curivilinearity of these functions.
All functions were assessed and those with coeffecieut of

~9~Q~~zation helped in reducing dependence on ~~i~al
ann thus several working hours by animal were eaved. these
animals could be directed to prcducing more milk and m~t.
