This article explores one of the main institutions dedicated to agricultural technology research and agricultural production in Argentina: the Obispo Colombres Agronomic Experimental Station. With the aim of analyzing production dynamics and knowledge appropriations and transformations concerning the State, scientists and companies, this work reconstructs the trajectory of this century-old institution and studies one of its research agendas: the search for a national variety of transgenic soybeans. Through written sources and interviews with scientists and technicians, current conceptions about the production of knowledge in this state agency and its links with socio-economic transformations of rural space are analyzed. The main conclusion of this article is the identification of an entrepreneurial science, strongly articulated to agribusiness productive schemes, in which an alliance between expert and non-expert knowledge operates mediated and guaranteed by the State.

Palabras clave : Commodity; Centered science; Knowledge; State; Agro; Transgenic soybeans.
