Water scarcity is one of the main negative impacts of global climate change. Water scarcity is a growing problem in many countries around the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Accordingly, rationalization of irrigation water has become a necessity for these countries to achieve their sustainable development goals. Constrained irrigation practices in agricultural production are critical strategies for water resource conservation and sustainable irrigation management, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. In this direction, the study investigating the effects of different irrigation water applications on plant growth parameters of bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) plant was carried out in Erzurum conditions in 2024. In the study, 25% (S4), 50% (S3), 75% (S2) and 100% (S1) of the evaporation values read from the Class A pan were applied as irrigation levels. Plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root length, root weight, pod length and number of grains per pod were determined. The values for plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root length, root weight, pod length and number of grains in the pods varied between 35.21-47.10 cm, 9.87-9.99 mm, 13.5-25 pieces, 15.23-18.65cm, 22.05-28.41g, 14.10-14.55cm, 5-5.37 pieces. The study found that plant height, number of leaves, root length and root weight increased with increasing amount of irrigation water. Considering the results of the study, it was found that stem diameter, pod length and number of grains in pods had no significant influence by irrigation level treatments.
