The present disclosure discloses a method for tomato soilless cultivation with suspended trough, including four aspects: setting of soilless cultivation substrate trough, preparation of soilless cultivation substrate, efficient and economical grafting and plant management. The efficient and economical grafting includes seedling raising, preparation of new scion, grafting and healing culture. The plant management includes planting, pruning and vine raising, flower and fruit management, and plant type maintenance. the present disclosure utilizes a soilless cultivation substrate trough, which can overcome the shortcomings of poor water retention, difficult control of temperature and water and fertilizer application in substrate bag cultivation and give full play to the characteristics of the cultivation substrate. The use of efficient and economical grafting and supporting plant management methods can optimize plants configuration, simplifying the work content of plant management, and improving the utilization rate of cultivation space.

Vegetable material coating subject to dehydration and oxidation, sugar cane buds or setts preferably, which involve a substrate, an agglutinant agent, a plasticizing agent, and a biodegradable film or coverage. Such substrate can be from commercial crops, earth, cellulose, corn shell or other cereals, perlome, bagasse, fertile earth, compost, sand, coconut fibre or other vegetable origin fibres, or their combinations. The agglutinant agent can be proteins, fat, vegetable gums, modified starch and/or starch gels, dextrins, maltodextrins, carboxymetylcellulose, cellulose, kitosane mixed with polyalcohols, pectin, agar, alginate, sorbitol or other polyalcohols, glycerides, such as fats and vegetable and animal oils, water-proofing agents, polymeric plasticizing agents, phosphates, acetyl monoglycerides, glycerol, gat acids, sorbitol or other polyalcohols. Coating can be polysaccharides of a protein, lepidic composition or a combination of both, microperforated film, parafilm, and PLA (polylactic acid), biodegradable film poly (lactic acid), poly (hydroxybutyrate), poly (hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), or their mixtures. Fats, pectins, cellulose, waxes, starch films or other polysaccharides, alginate, calcium carbonate, vinyl coatings, plastic paints. Mixtures can be obtained from solution mixing, preformed matrix resulting from moulting or merging. The biodegradable film or coating can comprise different types of perforations, for instance, circular, lengthwise, perforations, cuts, inserts, notches, etc. Moreover, it can be of different colours according to the variety, storage time, planting time, etc. Such coating can be vacuum sealed, by means of double thermal sealing, etc.
