Abstract: Technology readiness levels (TRL) are international widely used to quantify the degree of quantitative evaluation on major scientific technological research and engineering projects. TRL can accurately evaluate the development of technology, improve the scientific decision-making, reduce the risk of new technology application, and play an important role in the industrialization of major industrial developed countries in Europe and the North America. China began to pay attention to the research and application on TRL in the beginning of 21th century and made remarkable achievements. However, the study was rarely used in agriculture and life sciences. In order to introduce this advanced technology evaluation method and management tool into the process of agricultural science and technology innovation as soon as possible, this paper summarized the application status of technology readiness levels in domestic and foreign industry, discussed the necessity for bringing TRL into agricultural science and technology innovation system, and put forward the policy suggestions on the application of TRL on agricultural science and technology innovation process.

Key words: technology readiness levels, technology assessment and forecasting, agricultural science and technology innovation, application status, policy suggestions

摘要： 技术成熟度是国际上广泛应用的，对重大科技攻关和工程项目进行技术成熟度量化 评价的工具。技术成熟度可准确评价技术发展状态，提高管理决策科学性，降低新 技术应用风险，在欧美主要工业发达国家的工业化进程中发挥了重要作用。我国于 21世纪前后开始重视技术成熟度的研究和应用，并在一些领域取得了令人瞩目的成 绩。然而，该项研究在农业和生命科学领域的应用极少。综述了技术成熟度在国内 外工业领域应用现状，探讨了技术成熟度应用于农业科技创新体系的必要性，并就 加快技术成熟度应用于农业科技创新过程提出相应的政策建议，以期尽快将这一先 进技术评价方法和管理工具引入到农业科技创新过程中。
