Study dealing with the use of local ameliorant in combination with the interval of watering on the growth and quality of sword bean (Canavalia ensiformis.L) in sand beach area was conducted from May until September 2014 in Depok Beach Parangtritis, Bantul Yogyakarta. The experiment was arranged in Split Plot Design with three replications. The main plot was watering interval consisting of two levels: watering every day and watering every two days. The sub plot was the combination between the kind of organic matter and the clay dosage application. The kind of organic matter consisting of four levels: chicken manure, goat manure, cow manure, and green leaves of gliriside. The clay dosage consisting of two levels: clay dosage 10 ton ha -1 and clay dosage 20 ton ha-1. Results of the experiment indicated that the watering every day in combination with the application of green leaves of gliriside resulted plant height, leaves number, root nodules better than the other applications. The application of green leaves of gliriside in combination with the clay dosage application 20 ton ha-1resulted pod number and the weight of 100 seeds higher than the other application. The application of manure can create better soil structure of sandy beach land.
