The concept, objectives and factors that enhance agricultural mechanization are reviewed from relevant literature. Various impediments that usually frustrate mechanization schemes in traditional tropical agriculture are briefly discussed. Some fundamental questions are then raised which the author argues can best be studied by a multidisciplinary team using the systems approach in evaluating the appropriate levels of mechanization suitable for Nigerian agricultural systems Attention is focused on the nature of data needed for the development of acceptable mathematical models of the real systems. Solution by linear programming aided by a computer is advocated.
