An experiment was carried out at the screen house of the college of environmental resources management at the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Ogun state to determine water use of three vegetable: Amaranthus, Corchorus and Celosia. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) and was replicated three times with a control. 50 cl of water was applied to the crops at a day interval. Data collected were analyzed making use of ANOVA and statistical analysis system was used to compare the means of the crops planted as a sole of each crop planted and the test was also used to formulate two hypotheses. The result showed that there were no significant differences between the water uses of each vegetable while there were significant differences between the crop coefficients of each vegetable. Based on the experiment carried out, it was observed that the celosia, amaranthus and corchorus needed the same amount of water for their growth. Therefore it is recommended that farmers that practice rainfed agriculture during dry season when there will be or no rain make sure that sufficient water is been supply to the three vegetable crops for rapid growth and optimum yield
