The present investigation was carried out at Horticulture Instructional Farm, CP College of Agriculture, SD Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to find out the effect of foliar application of acetyl salicylic acid and ascorbic acid on growth and yield of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Bonneville. Plants were sprayed with treatments viz. control, NAA (25 and 50 ppm), GA3 (50 and 100 ppm), 2, 4-D (5 and 10 ppm), acetyl salicylic acid (100 ppm and 200 ppm), ascorbic acid (100 and 200 ppm) at 30 days after sowing. The results revealed that the antioxidant acetyl salicylic acid 200 ppm effectively increased the number of pods, weight of pods, number of grains per pod and length of pod whereas ascorbic acid 200 ppm has given best results for thickness of pod, test weight, yield per plot and yield per hectare.
