The present investigation was conducted at the Department of Agronomy Farm, R.S.M. (P.G.) College, Dhampur, Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, India, during the rabi season from November 2024 to April 2025 to study the effect of molybdenum nutrition on the growth and root parameters of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replications and comprised six treatments, namely T₁: Control, T₂: RDF (20 - 60 - 40 kg N-P₂O₅-K₂O ha⁻¹), T₃: RDF + Soil application of Mo @ 0.5 kg ha⁻¹, T₄: RDF + Soil application of Mo @ 1.0 kg ha⁻¹, T₅: RDF + Foliar application of Mo @ 1.5 g lit⁻¹, and T₆: RDF + Foliar application of Mo @ 3.0 g lit⁻¹. The results showed that RDF + foliar application of Mo @ 1.5 g lit⁻¹ (T₅) recorded the maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant, root fresh weight, and root dry weight at both 20 and 40 DAS. This treatment consistently outperformed the control and other molybdenum levels, indicating the beneficial role of foliar-applied molybdenum in enhancing vegetative growth and root development of garden pea. It may therefore be concluded that foliar application of molybdenum @ 1.5 g lit⁻¹ along with RDF is the most effective strategy for improving early crop performance in garden pea.
