A field experiment was conducted at Hudeiba Research Station Farm, located at Ed-Damer, Sudan during 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 winter seasons to investigate the effect of different irrigation regimes and varieties on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)  yield, yield components and water productivity. The treatments included three irrigation regimes; irrigation every 10 days (I1= full irrigation), irrigation every 15 days (I2= moderate stress) and irrigation every 20 days (I3= severe stress) and two varieties (Giza3 & Ibraya).

The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of investment in irrigated agriculture in expanding land productivity in order to sustain agriculture and ensure food security and alleviate poverty.
