This research seeks to describe the structure formed by interactions between the entities of researchers engaged in the creation of technologies applicable to the three selected crops. To do so, were privileged sociometric and bibliometric techniques, applying them to papers published in scientific journals indexed in the SciELO database. We have found evidence pointing to the existence of inter-organizational cooperation, where: each network has a large component, whose links pass through the central elements of the subset consisting of ten entities, which account for the largest share of research, five entities are common to the central subsets, the links between these central elements have distinct characteristics in each network, the diameter of the core components is small, as well the average distance between the vertices, and almost all the major entities in the arrangements studied are public.
