Micronutrients are essential for the development of plants and may affect the quantity and quality of the products of interest. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of foliar fertilization with molybdenum and other micronutrient on 'Olimpia' watermelon fruit yield and quality. The experiment was carried out following a randomized block design, with treatments in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, for molybdenum doses (0, 15, 30, and 60 g Mo ha-1) and Kit presence or absence, with four replications. The number of fruits per plant, yield per plant, commercial productivity, average fruit mass, longitudinal and transverse diameters, peel thickness, and pulp yield were evaluated. Molybdenum foliar fertilization increased the yield per plant and the fruit diameters, with the best results at dose of 30 g Mo ha-1. The Kit promoted higher productivity per plant (25.7%), fruits with higher pulp yield (5.3%) and lower peel thickness (11.07%). Joint molybdenum and Kit application increased watermelon fruit pulp yield by 5.7% at 30 g Mo ha-1, and up 8.4% at higher doses. Foliar fertilization with 30 g Mo ha-1 and other micronutrients improve the 'Ol mpia' watermelon fruit yield and quality being recommended to producers.
