Abstract. In the article, the chemical composition and biologically active substances, macro- and microelement composition of the medicinal Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.), introduced in the conditions of old irrigated meadow-alluvial soils, were studied, as well as the elements in the root bark and root fruit of the Jerusalem artichoke plant using the neutron-activation method. the analysis results of the quantity are given. According to the obtained results, it has been proven that the root of this plant absorbs elements such as K, Ca, Fe, Na, Sr, Zn and Mn more than other elements, and on the contrary, it absorbs the toxic lead element in a very small amount
