A tomato breeding and germination cultivation method according to claim 1, characterized in that: The S7 specifically includes: S71: Evenly sow the seeds dried in S5 on the surface of the seedling medium prepared in S6, with a sowing depth of 0.5-1.0 cm; S72: placing the seeded substrate in a temperature-controlled environment, with the temperature set at 20° C. to 25° C.; S73: Control the ambient humidity through a humidifier and keep it between 85% and 90%; S74: In the early stage after seed sowing, provide appropriate light conditions with a light intensity of 1000-1500 lux and a daily light cycle of 12 hours.

9. A tomato breeding and germination cultivation method according to claim 1, characterized in that: The S8 specifically includes: S71: When the seeds germinate and grow to have 4-6 true leaves, transplant them; S72: Before transplanting, soak the roots of the seedlings in a solution containing 0.1%-0.3% plant growth regulator for 15-20 minutes; S73: After soaking, gently remove excess medium from the roots of the seedlings to ensure that the roots are clean; S74: Transplanting operation: transplant the seedlings after root treatment to the field or greenhouse, and the transplanting depth is 1.5 times the root depth of the seedlings.

10. A tomato breeding and germination cultivation method according to claim 9, characterized in that: The plant growth regulator selected in S72 is indolebutyric acid or naphthylacetic acid.
