Two field investigations were performed at Sakha Agricultural Research Station (31° OT N Latitude and 30° 57- E longitude with an elevation of about 6 metres above mean sea level, MSL). Kafr EI-Sheikh Governorate during the two successive winter growing seasons 2013/2014 and 2014/2015to investigate the effect of cultivation method and irrigation treatments on sugar beet yield, yield components, quality and some water relations. The trial was designed split plot with three replicates. The main plots were randomly assigned by cultivation method, A (normal furrows, 60 cm. apart) and B (raised-bed method, 120 cm. apart). While, sub-plots were randomly assigned by irrigation treatments (scheduling treatments). I1 (Traditional irrigation, like to practice by local farmers), l2 (1.2 of cumulative evaporation pan, CEP), I3 (1.0 of cumulative evaporation pan. CEP), 14 (0.8 of cumulative evaporation pan, CEP) and Is . (0.6 of cumulative evaporation pan, CEP). The main findings can be summarized as follows:- The highest mean values for seasonal water applied and water consumptive use were recorded under normal cultivation method comparing with raised-bed method and the values are 2802.00 and 2553.55 m3/ fed. for water applied and 1878.67 and 1818.88 m3/ fed. for water consumptive use under normal and raised-bed methods, respectively. Concerning, the effect of irrigation treatments, the highest mean values were recorded under h but the lowest were recorded under I5 for the two studied parameters
