How to pick sea buckthorn fruit

There are three main methods for picking sea buckthorn fruits: manual picking, mechanical picking, and chemical picking. Let me introduce them to you one by one.

Hand picking method

At present, the methods of manual harvesting of sea buckthorn fruits in my country include: picking the fruits, shaking the fruits, or harvesting in combination with pruning. These methods are inefficient and result in high labor losses.

Mechanical picking

Compared with manual picking, mechanical picking is a more efficient method, and it reduces labor loss and production costs. Mechanical picking causes less damage to sea buckthorn fruits and is easy to preserve, but this method also has certain limitations. It can only be used when the sea buckthorn fruits are just ripe and hard.

Chemical picking

Chemical picking is a picking method that has just emerged in recent years. It mainly uses chemicals to ripen and harvest plant fruits. This method is suitable for sea buckthorn fruits when they turn from green to yellow. This method is low-cost but very efficient, and is a promising harvesting method.
