This study was carried out to determine crop response to limited water under biotic stress that was
soil-borne pathogens caused of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis and Macrophomina phaseoli. The
experiment was established in a naturally infected field as in a randomized block design with four
replications at Çumra in the Konya Plain, Turkey. Irrigation treatments were consisted of four levels: Water
amount applied to replenish the water deficit of 0-90 cm soil depth to field capacity (I1), water supply
reductions of 0.25 and 50 percent were applied for the other treatments. The highest yield (2.42 and
3.14 t da-1) was obtained from I1 treatment in both years. Other fruit quality parameters were significantly
affected by the treatments. The total irrigation water amount and water consumptive use of the same
application were 260 and 470 mm in 2011, respectively. In the second year, the total irrigation water
amount and water consumptive use of the same treatment were 334 and 501 mm, respectively. The
higher disease incidence (50.0-54.7 %) was observed in the plants subjected to drought in two-year.
