Abstract

Aim: A preliminary analysis was done to evaluate the impact of lockdown on soil temperature at different depths and comparison with year 2018 and 2019. Methodology and Results: In order to describe the basic features of the data in study, descriptive statistics method was opted. The deviation in soil temperature from mean value at 5 cm depth observed during lockdown was -8.58 % and -4.77 % compared to year 2018 and 2019. However the deviation observed from mean value at 10 cm depth was -10.72 % and -9.28 %. The deviation from mean value at 20 cm depth observed was -2.34 % and -1.98 %. Conclusion: The study concluded that due to lockdown, there was significant change in soil temperature values at variable depths compared to year 2018 and 2019 in the study region.
