In this article is beeing described the classification of soilless cultures and pointed out on the root medium as the basic criterion. There are brought various substrates and root media used in horticulture, their faults and advantagenous, with the main stress on the importance of inert media. Introducing of inert media, mainly rockwool, and dropled fertigation with computer controlling caused a turning point in the efficiency of vegetable plant yields. Modern technologies have allowed to apply for the horticultural practice new methods of plant growing safety to the environment, in example the closed fertilization systems. As the effect of intensive scientific and technical progresses there is possible to train for the practice a quite new technology which is an aeroponic system. This technology gives new possibilities for the optimization of quantity and quality of yields without using of any substrates, to minimize nutrient solution and not contaminate
