The present status about L. barbarum harvesting is introduced in this paper. The high pressure air flow method, vibration method and shear type method are described in detail. The experimental data were analyzed and the damage rate, acquisition rate and efficiency of each method were compared. The results showed that the picking rate of vibration picking method can reach 85%, the damage rate of the L. barbarum ripe fruit can be controlled within 10%, and the comprehensive harvesting effect is relatively good. So, it can be used as the mechanized continuous harvesting method of L. barbarum under the current cropping pattern. With the advancement of standardization and standardized planting of Lycium barbarum, the efficiency of shear-type picking method should be greatly improved, and it will also be well applied in the mechanized continuous harvesting equipment in the future.
