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.

Disclosed is an apparatus for supporting a plant to be grown in the ground. More particularly, the invention relates to a drill head, a drilling apparatus and a system for planting a plant. Also disclosed are methods for planting a plant.

In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition and a system. The invention relates to controlled environment agriculture comprising composition comprising a controlled growth medium comprising a customizable (generally self-regulating) microbiome, an inoculant, a natural fiber, and a soil conditioner and a system for vertical farming and sensors. The invention further relates to system for pest management.

A face plate for use with a frame of a hydroponic system and a plurality of pod holders each operable to house a growth media to grow one or more plants. The face plate comprising a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and a central portion. The first and second edge portions are slidably engagable with the frame. The face plate is slidable along the frame when the first and second edge portions are slidably engaged with the frame. The central portion extends between the first and second edge portions and includes a plurality of through-holes to receive the plurality of pod holders. The plurality of pod holders are removable from the plurality of through-holes.

A greenwall cladding system for the growth of organisms such as plants and fungi on the side of structures, such as internal and external walls of buildings, is provided. Methods for the production of organisms on a greenwall cladding system, such as plants and fungi are also provided herein.

The present invention provides a slope repair method. The method includes pretreating a slope, so that an average roughness of the pretreated slope is not greater than ±8 cm to ±12 cm per linear meter; (2) hanging a hard protective mesh on the pretreated slope, where the distance between the hard protective mesh and the slope is 3-4 cm, and the hard protective mesh has an aperture size of 4-6 cm; and (3) spraying a loam-like matrix on the slope with the hard protective mesh hanged, where the loam-like matrix includes not less than 0.04/m.sup.2 of plant seeds; the plant seeds include tree seeds, shrub seeds and herb seeds with a mass ratio of (2.5-3.5):(4-6):(1.5-2.5). The method provided by the present invention effectively restores the mountain vegetation, and only needs 1-2 years of artificial maintenance after the restoration to form a cyclically stable ecosystem.

The composition contains, as essential components, coconut fibers, compost of sheep manure and Glomus Iranicum var. tenuihypahrum. The composition is included into a bag that has at least two parts joined together through at least a first weakened portion, allowing to separate it into two bags each having an opening wherein the composition contained in the bag parts is accessible. The composition inside each of the bags is contacted with a plant or at least a seed via the opening.
