During pilot studies, the research of arugula different grades cultivation agrobiological aspects in the conditions of small-volume hydroponic culture and traditional soil cultivation is carried out (S nutrition plant = 400 cm² with placement 25 rast./m² the hothouse area, the registration area of an allotment - 4,8 m², frequency in experience - 4-fold). It is established that for the complex of biometric indicators of plant grown on mineral mats at hydroponic way, were characterized by more active apikal and radial growth, formed root system of bigger weight. The plants which grew on soil culture were more leaffull and formed the main root of bigger length. Efficiency of cultivation of arugula as intermediate additional culture in the glazed greenhouses on mineral wool is shown. The yield of lettuce in hydroponic method of growing next, kg/m 2: grade Spartak - 1,706; grade Victoria - 1,695; grade Solitaire - 1,646; grade Poker - 1,650. When grown in soil mixture the yield amounted arugula, kg/m 2: grade Solitaire - 1,476; grade Poker 1,442; grade Spartak - 1,511; grade Victoria - 1,498. The obtained results can serve as a basis for the development of agro-technological regulations the use arugula as an additional culture for growing of main crops protected ground, such as cucumber or tomato.arugulahydroponicscultivarefficiencyрукколагидропоникасортоизучениеурожайность[Бербеков, К.
