This article discusses the diffusion of scientific, technical and technological publications of the National Institutes of Science and Technology (INCT), in the field of Agrarian Sciences, showing where the research results are published and how society's access to these results happens. The general objective is to analyze the publications, and the specific objectives are: a) to raise the characteristics of the researchers linked to the INCT; b) to classify, by type, the scientific, technical and technological publications of the INCT, from 2013 to 2015; c) to identify the type of access of scientific, technical and technological publications. Method. The methodological aspects involved the use of exploratory and descriptive, bibliographical and documentary research with quantitative approach. Results. The results present that the INCTs in the field of Agrarian Sciences had a significant scientific, technical and technological production, presenting a total of 13,321 documents in the period from 2013 to 2015. The Institutes make their research work public through formal and informal channels. The scientific production presented a total of 10,972 items, while technical presented 2,196 and technological production presented the total of 153 analyzed items. The scientific, technical and technological productions made public through formal channels presented the total of 83% of all the items, while the ones made public through informal channels represent 17%. The publication of articles in periodicals represented 52% of scientific production, which was published in 1,008 journals, belonging to 378 different publishers. Regarding access to scientific, technical and technological publications, the data present that: 56% of the items registered in the researchers' Lattes curriculum were not located; 35% were available on the web, in open access, and 9% were obtained through payment.
