During the Kharif season (August-December) in 2019, the pot experiment was conducted under polyhouse conditions at the Department of Agrometeorology and Environmental Science, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. The trials employed three levels of Pusa hydrogel (5 g, 10 g, and 20 g), with three replications in upland, upper medium land, and lower medium land soil. Hydrogels may vary their volume dramatically in reaction to external stimuli such as temperature, solvent quality, pH, electric field, and so on. The goal of this research was to determine how the Pusa hydrogel-induced fluctuating soil moistures influenced the okra crop's performance. The T3 (20 g Pusa hydrogel) treatment had considerably higher soil moisture content than the other treatments, according to the findings. It had the highest average soil moisture content (25.1 percent in upland, 26.8% in upper midland, and 27.5 percent in lower midland soil), while the control (T7) had the lowest average soil moisture content (14.96 percent in upland, 15.55 percent in upper midland, and 15.57 percent in lower midland soil).
