Abstract: Under semiarid rain-fed condition, winter wheat‘Longzhong No.1’was used to study soil moisture and winter wheat yield under different sowing dates. The results showed that soil water content increased with the late-sowing of winter wheat. There were differences in soil moisture under different sowing dates and growth periods. Among the four sowing dates, the highest soil moisture was found in the latest sowing date (S4, October 11) and the lowest yield was found in the earliest sowing date (S1, September 21). The yield was similar between September 30 and October 11. On the whole, the soil moisture increased with the delay of sowing date. The late-sowing will not lead to the reduction of output.
