The rocket (Eruca sativa Hill.), Is a vegetable which has shown tremendous growth in its demand as compared to the cultivation of other hardwoods. This study aimed to evaluate the production of rocket due to row spacing and fertilization. The seeds were sown in the garden of Goiás, in the municipality of Nova Xavantina-MT. The experimental design was a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments were arranged in a factorial 3 x 3, three plant spacing (20 x 5, 25 x 5 e 30 cm x 5 cm) and three fertilization (organic, mineral and organic mineral). The cultivar used was Cultivada arugula, sown directly into beds using 4-7 seeds per hole. Plants were harvested 31 days after sowing. The variables studied were: green mass, dry mass, plant height, leaf number and leaf area. No significant interaction between spacing and fertilization in any of the traits.
