Abstract: With strawberry Fragaria×ananassa Duch cv. Toyonoka as experimental materials, the paper preliminarily studied the effects of three different irrigation patterns, (furrow irrigation, drip irrigation and half-substrate drip irrigation), on the yield, photosynthetic physiological indexes and the root growth of strawberry. The results showed that compared with furrow irrigation, the yield and growth increased with the half-substrate drip irrigation, and yield per plant increased 36.89% and 29.30% and the photosynthetic rate in blooming stage increased 41.56% and 34.46%; The WUE increased 28.69% and 24.65% in fruiting stage, and the root cap ratio increased 51.78% and 29.28%. The pattern of half-substrate drip irrigation and drip irrigation is more conductive than the furrow irrigation on root growth, the root volume increased 164.25% and 78.72% in blooming stage, and the root fresh weight increased 117.18% and 84.07%, and the root activity increased 70.98% and 48.38%.The half-substrate drip irrigation was an appropriate pattern for strawberry culture under clay soils.
