Abstract: The article provides a critical analysis of methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of innovation activities. Universal and specialized assessment methods for horticulture and nursery breeding are considered. The lack of scientific and methodological unity in the choice of a key indicator or indicators has been revealed. The paper describes methods for calculating the economic benefits from the use of scientific and innovative products, including the profit advantage method, the yield advantage method, the price advantage method, the cost advantage method and the volume advantage method. Proposals have been made to improve the profit advantage method by clarifying the calculation of the annual economic benefit from the use of scientific products, allowing us to formalize the calculation of the influence of a larger number of factors - six instead of three - by highlighting the factors of marketability of fruit and berry products, the area of fruit and berry plantations, as well as the profit taxation factor. Scientific and theoretical development is also given to the application of the method of advantage in volume of production due to the expansion of the two-factor model of gross harvest of fruit and berry products to three- and four-factor models. In the three-factor model, the yield factor is divided into factors of the specific weight of the area of fruit and berry plantations of fruiting age in the total area and the yield factor of plantations of fruiting age (according to the total gross harvest). In the four-factor model of the gross harvest of fruit and berry products, the factors of the ratio of the total gross harvest to the gross harvest from fruit and berry plantations of fruiting age, as well as the factor of the yield of plantations of fruiting age according to the gross harvest from areas of fruiting age, are highlighted. The article may be of interest both to people researching scientific and methodological aspects of evaluating the effectiveness of innovation activities, and to employees of horticultural organizations who are engaged in improving their operational performance.
