Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the Hi-horticultural research farm of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa (Samastipur) Bihar, for two consecutive years for strawberry variety Festival using drip irrigation method and conventional system of irrigation. Three level of irrigation (IW/CPE=0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) with drip irrigation gave significant higher yield as compared to conventional furrow irrigation method for single row planting and paired row planting methods. Single row planting method gave higher yield as compared to paired row planting method with drip irrigation but increase in yield was statistically non significant. Drip irrigation with single row and paired row planting method saves 68.5% and 53.3% water, respectively as compared to conventional furrow irrigation method. Maximum irrigation water use efficiency (114.21 kg/ha-cm) was achieved at low level of irrigation. Drip with paired row planting reduce the number of lateral line to half, therefore, it is better to use paired row planting with drip from economic point of view.
