The study was aimed at evaluating the absorption, accumulation and export of macronutrients, as well as the interference of the addition of N doses in the absorption of macronutrients by common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) irrigated. This study was conducted using 4x4 factorial design, which included four nitrogen doses in seedling (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha ) in sidedressing, suggesting the occurrence of phytotoxic effect in common bean by excess of N. The rate of maximum accumulation of nutrients in the leaves of bean was obtained between 28 and 31 DAE (R5-R6 stages). The absorption and export of nutrients in the shoot and seeds had the following order: K>N>Ca>S>P>Mg, and obtained in the shoot the accumulation of 136,118, 82, 21, 13 and 12 kg ha -1 , respectively. Seeds were the component of plant with highest macronutrients accumulation, suggesting a high export rate of nutrients by the crop.
