A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 and 2015-16 under irrigated condition at Agriculture Instructional-Cum-Research Farm, Raipur, Chhatisgarh to evaluate effect of row spacing and nipping on productivity and profitability of chickpea in Chhattisgarh plains agroclimatic zone. The experiment was laid out in Split plot design with three replications. The main plot consisted of four levels of row spacing viz., 30 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm and 60 cm and sub-plot consisted of three levels of nipping viz., no nipping, one nipping at 30 days and two nipping at 30 and 45 days after sowing. More number of branches and pods per plant were recorded with row spacing of 60 cm which was, however, at par with those of 50 cm spacing. Grain yield, net return and B:C ratio were increased with increase in row spacing up to 50 cm with significant difference and thereafter, they decreased with further increase in spacing. The average increase in grain yield was 7.6, 16.6 and 4.3 % higher with 40, 50 and 60 cm row spacing as compared to closure spacing of 30 cm. Regarding nipping levels, grain yield, net return and B: C ratio of chickpea were increased significantly with one nipping but decreased with two nipping with significant difference. One nipping increased the average grain yield by 7.6% as compared to no nipping. Wider row spacing of 40, 50 and 60 cm had saving of seed by 24.7, 39.8 and 42.5 %, respectively, compared to closure spacing of 30 cm.
