This paper analizes the main aspects that have helpedto shape the process of mechanization of valencian agriculture. Thetime path of severa1 mechanization indexes have been taken intoaccount for the 1961-88 period and differences in machinery use atsubregional level have also been stu-died. A model based in a CESproduction function is used to estimate the elasticity of substitutionbetween labor and mechanical power. Results are coherent with themain hypothesis suggested to explain managerial behaviour at farmlevel in the Valencian Region. El presente trabajo analiza las formas peculiares que harevestido la mecanización en la agricultura valenciana. Para ello setiene en cuenta la evolución temporal de una serie de índices quereflejan la intensidad de este proceso entre 1961 y 1988, y seestudian también las diferencias intercomarcales en el uso de lamaquinaria. Asimismo se emplea un modelo basado en la función deproducción CES para estimar la elasticidad de sustitución entre eltrabajo humano y la energía mecánica. Los resultados soncoherentes con diversas hipótesis avanzadas en cuanto alfuncionamiento de las explotaciones agrarias valencianas.
