Conventional irrigation methods to new methods have been altered with respect to reduction of water resources and climate change. Considering the corn cultivation development, applying modern irrigation methods namely drip irrigation with the aim of improving the efficiency of water consumption as well as the zone under cultivation has been investigated. In this research, the performance of corn (SC 704) in various managements of drip irrigation (by strip method) both in single-row and double-row planting patterns was considered with a variety of densities. This test was carried out on random complete blocks in the form of a 3-repetitive Split Design in Isfahan-Iran during the years 2018–2019. Four irrigation levels containing: 80, 100 and 120% of full water requirement with drip irrigation (strip) and 100% of water requirement with normal drip irrigation were utilized. The results indicated that applying the aforementioned drip tapes and different surface treatments with soil and water monitoring, the water consumption of corn seasonal irrigation can be saved by 81, 71, 61, 52 and 36% compared to normal drip irrigation without soil, water and root monitoring, respectively. Seasonal yield (Kc), the yield response coefficient (Ky), and pan coefficient (Kp) for corn were 0.80, 0.76 and 0.97, respectively.
