Search for: [Abstract = "The article presents analysis concerning the general condition \(for 2010\) as well as trends and rate of changes in agricultural mechanisation in Poland \(2002–2010\), with individual treatment of tractors and seventeen other machines categorized in five groups, i.e. for\: harvest of cereals and green fodder, general purpose, root crops, cultivation of fruit trees and bushes, and animal production. The research accounts for differences across voivodships and districts \(powiaty\), on the basis of two indices characterizing the changes in the number of machines in a given group in the period 2002–2010 \(number as of 2002 = 100 points\) and their numbers in 2010 per 100 ha of agricultural acreage. The spatial layout study demonstrates differences in agricultural holding sizes and external factors conditioning the Polish agriculture\: natural, historical and urban. It has been shown that the analysed issues are characterized by a large territorial differentiation and that with the support in form of the Common Agricultural Policy resources, agricultural holdings are markedly better – technically equipped \(nationwide, a downward trend was noted only in relation to the group of machines for root crops\). This phenomenon was most pronounced in the agriculture of the south\-east Poland, which has the highest agrarian fragmentation."]
