Soil moisture variation in bare soil of various depths at Pune and Delhi has been examined week by week. The study has brought out that soil moisture reaches field capacity at Pune on a few occasions and almost every year at Delhi area specially in late monsoon. There may not be any carryover of moisture for the next season at Pune but forced fallows may benefit the succeeding crop at Delhi.
