Article is devoted to studying of innovation development of agricultural based on the use of GIS-technologies. Implemented design options and developed a specialized GIS database structure « Innovations in the Russian regions». For the analysis of diffusion of innovations in agricultural industry Monte Carlo methods and geoinformation technologies have been used. On the basis of the analysis of diffusion of innovations by means of these methods objective regularities of distribution of the innovations used in agricultural industry in the direction on the one hand from large scientific and technological centers with another – from areas of intensive agriculture on the peripheral territories mainly in east and northern parts of the European Russia, and also Siberia and the Far East are revealed. Use of methods of geoinformation modeling has allowed to conduct researches with creation and the analysis of different degree of complexity of geoinformationcartographic models of territorial systems of the regional level, and the innovative processes which are also happening in them for implementation of management of them and forecasting of development of regional innovation systems.

Historical and cartographic analysis with the use of GIS technologies showed that in the basin of Pena river (the basin of Dnepr) in the late nineteenth century the decline of the river network was 27%, and by the end of the XX century – 29% in comparison with the end of the XVIII century In the basin of the Black Kalitva (Don river basin), these values amounted to 67% and 75% respectively. The maximum degradation marks of the river network in the basin of the Black Kalitva were traced for the period from the 1 780s through the 1880s. In both observed basins the rivers of 3– 5 orders were exposed by the maximal degradation as a result of destroying from the mid-nineteenth century a considerable part of the ravine forests in their source areas (west of the region) and practically complete agricultural development of natural steppes in the east of the territory.
