Abstract

Consistent measures are being implemented in the Republic of Uzbekistan to ensure wider integration of science, education and production, to create and apply new knowledge, to introduce innovative technologies and best practices. However, the results of the research on the introduction of innovative technologies and the development of the agrarian sector do not reach the lowest levels of the sec-tor, and the problems that have not been solved for years prevent the agricultural sector from developing more rapidly. In order to assess the level of use of innovations and information-advisory services in agriculture, the article carried out a social survey of different categories of participants of the innovation process using the expert evaluation method. Based on the results of the research, the trainings and seminars held in order to increase the knowledge and skills of the farmers on the use of innovative technologies, their ability to apply them in practice, the demand for innovations and the directions of the innovations being introduced, and the forms of providing information about the innovations in agriculture for farmers and peasants are presented. Also, the author expressed his views on the results of the introduction and use of innovations in the agricultural sector.
