As an independent component of modern research in natural sciences, branch re-search developed as a result of the accumulation of knowledge from three spheres of public activity - agriculture, branch-specific education, and agricultural re-search - under the influence of a complex interaction of many external factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the initial stage of formalization of agri-cultural research as a branch of natural sciences with the development of a corre-sponding sign-symbolic system and terminology. Based on the study of printed and archival research of the Imperial Free Economic Society (IFES), adjustments were made to the scientific periodization of the history of research as a branch of knowledge, considering the personalized contribution of its luminaries. Forgotten or little-known studies of pioneers of Ukrainian research - the IFES members: Swiss mathematician Euler; Russian scientist of Swedish origin, botanist and chemist Laxman; a native of Chernihiv Region, Professor of agriculture Prokopovich, and others were introduced into scientific discourse. The present paper analyses the ar-eas of diverse research activities in agriculture, which were conducted by IFES fig-ures at the early stages of the first scientific and economic association in the Rus-sian Empire.

Keywords: branch research, formalisation of research, works of the imperial free economic society, natural sciences.
