The present investigation was carried out during 1985/87 seasons to study the effect of number of irrigations and foliar nutrition treatments, as well as their interactions on growth, yield and quality of lentil. The main findings of this study could be summarized as follows: 1. Irrigation treatments had a significant effect on all the studied traits, except seed yield (kg/ fad). Meanwhile, the highest seed yield was obtained when lentil plants received one irrigation, on the other hand, seed protein content reached its maximum value when lentil plants were irrigated three times. 2. Foliar nutrition treatments had a significant effect on number of pods/ plant, 1000 seed weight and seed yield (kg/ fad) in both seasons. Adding Urea (1%) as foliar nutrition exerted a significant increase in seed yield. 3. Under the conditions of this experiments, irrigating lentil plants once at 30 days and foliar nutrition with Urea (1%) could maximize lentil seed yield.
