Water resources are a scarce and limiting factor for expanding cultivation and plant production in many arid and semi-arid areas. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different water deficit levels on soil and plant (leaf) concentration of macro and micro nutrients of four common bean cultivars and was carried out in a pot in a greenhouse. The treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes to which 100% (I1.00), 75% (I0.75) and 50% (I0.50) of depleted water from field capacity and four bean varieties ("Sarıkız", "Sazova", "Kırk Günlük", and "Gina"). It was determined that leaf macro and micro nutrients reduced from the full irrigation treatment (I1.00) to the treatment exposed the highest water stress (I0.50). The highest values of the macro and micro parameters in the soil under the highest water constraint were obtained in cv. "Gina". However, the highest values in the cv. "Sazova" were obtained in terms of micro elements in the leaf, and the highest values were obtained from the cv. "Gina" in terms of macro elements in the treatments of the highest water constraint (I0.50). As a result, based on the data obtained in this study, it may be stated that cv. "Gina" is more tolerant to water stress in comparison to the other varieties in the pot experiment.
