The aim of the study was to analyze the cultivation and harvesting chokeberry, and the composition and properties of the biologically active
compounds contained in fruits and their potentially health-promoting effects on the human body. Chokeberry is a plant with low soil requirements, but requires many labor-intensive agrotechnical operations. Harvest from large-scale plantations is usually carried out by means of self-propelled harvesters.
Mechanical harvesting requires appropriate planting shrubs and proper selection of combine harvester parameters to reduce the damage to fruit bushes
and canes. In the work, based on the available literature, important factors effect on the correct and optimal cultivation as well as the mechanized
harvesting of chokeberry are discussed and its potential therapeutic and pro-health properties in the prevention of civilization diseases are presented.
It was shown that this raw material is important in the processing industry.
