A field experiment was laid out to evaluate effect of spacing and nipping time in different sowing time of chickpea at Agriculture Instructional cum Research Farm, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during two consecutive winter seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 with four sowing time (First week of November, Third week of November, First week of December and Third week of December), three spacing (30x20, 40x20 and 50x20 cm) and three nipping time (No nipping, Nipping at 30 days, Nipping at 40 days). Nodulation and yield attributes were observed higher in November sowing with 50x20cm and 40x20 cm spacing. Spacing of 50x20 cm recorded higher seed yield (11.0 to 11.5%) and net return (24.2 to 24.7%) in first and third week of November sowing, moreover, spacing of 30x20 cm recorded higher seed yield (11.0 to 12.6%) and net return (21.9 to 23.1%) in third week of December sowing. Nipping at 30-40 DAS recorded increase of 4.8 to 7.5% in seed yield and 3.8 to 8.3% in net return in November sowing, however, it caused decrease of 9.3 to 12.2 % in seed yield and 30.7 to 37.5 % in net return in third week of December sowing.
