abstract: The paper was based on the results from field experiments on irrigation of strawberry carried out in 1981-2001 in the vicinity of Bydgoszcz on the soil characterized by a limited field water capacity. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of differentiated water conditions on yields of strawberry grown on the very light soil under drip and sprinkler irrigation. It was found that seasonal water rates were inversely correlated with rainfall amount during the vegetation period. Determined regression equations enable an assessment of irrigation requirements of strawberry under different rainfall conditions. The strongest influence of water conditions on yields and fruit size of strawberry occurred in May and June. The highest yields and the largest fruits were harvested, when the sum of rainfall and irrigation in this period amounted 220-230 mm.
