Nowadays, garlic moss harvesting in China is still by means of manual operation, and it is lack of mechanization. In order to develop garlic moss harvesters suitable for the needs, the study analyzes the garlic moss mechanized harvesting technology based on the current situation and characteristics of garlic moss harvesting, summarizes the research status and characteristics from four aspects including devices of pricking, clamping, peeling, and bolting, and generalizes the existing problems and solutions restricting the mechanized garlic moss harvesting in China. The paper also points out that the standardization of regional planting, the formation of deep integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, promoting the process of intelligent research and development, and increasing the investment in scientific research will be the development trend of mechanized garlic moss harvesting in China in the future. The study provides reference for the structural and innovative design of the new garlic moss harvester.
