  The aims of this study were to develop out crop and water-stress coefficients of onion crop under deficit conditions of arid regions. Therefore, field experiments of fully irrigated and deficit conditions with standard agronomic practices of onion crop had been conducted in two successive growing seasons in 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 in order to develop out the crop coefficients of onion plants at different growing stages. Results revealed that crop coefficient values at different growing stages under different management parameter considerations indicated that the observed values of kc are ranged above and dawn of the estimated values of FAO. Meanwhile, data analysis revealed that a general trend of increasing CWU and attributed SCWR from the beginning of cultivation up to the end of bulb formation stage (72 days after sowing seeds), then it decreasing within bulb enlargement and maturi..
