The present article is devoted to a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the processes involved in the formation, development, and standardization of agricultural terminology in the Uzbek language. In the context of globalization, rapid scientific and technological progress, and the modernization of agricultural education and practice, the role of terminological systems has become increasingly significant. Agricultural terminology, as a specialized subsystem of the national language, reflects not only professional knowledge and practical experience but also cultural, historical, and cognitive aspects of a society. The study examines the historical stages of the formation of Uzbek agricultural terminology, identifies the main sources of term creation, and analyzes the challenges related to terminological inconsistency, synonymy, polysemy, and borrowing. Special attention is paid to the issues of linguistic normativity, standardization mechanisms, and the role of scientific institutions, educational systems, and lexicographic practices in ensuring terminological stability. The research is based on descriptive, comparative, and analytical methods, drawing upon scientific texts, educational materials, terminological dictionaries, and normative documents related to the agricultural sector. The findings of the study contribute to the development of theoretical principles for terminological standardization and offer practical recommendations for improving the use of agricultural terms in academic, educational, and professional communication. The results are expected to be valuable for linguists, terminologists, educators, and specialists in the agricultural field, as well as for policy-makers involved in language planning and standardization.
