Abstract

The morpho-biological and agrotechnical properties of the Lonicera caerulea L. plant were thoroughly analyzed. According to the research results, this plant is a fruiting shrub that bears fruit in early spring, is resistant to cold and diseases, and has a short growing season. Its fruits are distinguished by their richness in anthocyanins (800-1300 mg/100 g), ascorbic acid (30-186 mg/100 g), P-active compounds (350-650 mg/100 g), as well as organic acids and sugars. Phenological phases, flowering biology, pollination mechanism, and agrobiological indicators of new breeding varieties were studied based on Russian breeding experiments. Due to the composition of biologically active substances and environmental adaptability of the fruits of this plant, the possibility of its use in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries has been proven. Also, aromatic honeysuckle is recommended as a promising and export-oriented crop in intensive horticulture
