Abstract: Continuous records of variation in morning soil temperature at different standard meteorological weeks (SMWs) from seeding to tillering phase at 5 and 15 cm depths among the different dates of sowing and soil moisture content at different profiles (0-15, 15-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm) at sowing and harvest and before and after irrigation in crop among the different dates of sowing and varieties were collected throughout two growing seasons, 2016-17 and 2017-18 at research farm, Department of Agricultural Meteorology, CCS HAU, Hisar located at 29° 10´ N latitude, 75° 46´ E longitude and 215.2 m altitude. Higher morning soil temperature was observed in D1- 3rd November (17.1 °C and 19.8 °C) during 2016-17 and (19.8 °C and 22.4 °C) during 2017-18. whereas, lower was in D4- 19th December sown crop at 5 and 15 cm depth from seeding to tillering phase during both the crop seasons. Morning soil temperature was decreased in all the SMWs from seeding to tillering phase with some exceptions whereas, increased in other treatments at both soil depths during both the crop seasons. Maximum soil moisture content was recorded in D1- 3rd November (20.7 and 20.9 %) from before sowing to harvest at after second irrigation during 2016-17 and 2017-18 and minimum was recorded in D4- 19th December and D3- 3rd December at before first irrigation during both the crop seasons. Almost all the varietal treatments showed statistically non-significant results except V2 (BH 902) at before sowing to harvesting in before and after irrigation during both the crop seasons.
