abstract = "Chickpea is an important crop in the cropping pattern supplying cheap protein diet especially for poor people and flourish the soil with nitrogen supply. Over the years, however, low yields are more prominent declining acceptability of this crop. Apart from other production enhancement indicators, nipping appeared to be a factor increasing yield and yield contributing parameters. To investigate the appropriate nipping technique as well as to sort out combination of spacing and nipping, an experiment was conducted during 2019-20 with chickpea variety Pusa-256. Nipping was done on four different crop growth stages viz. ground level, at 10 cm plant height, at 15 cm plant height and control (no nipping) with planting geometry 30×10 cm, 40×13 cm, 50×16 and 60×20 cm. Among the parameters studied, number of number of primary, secondary and tertiary branches plant-1, dry biomass plant-1 and number of nodules plant-1 were found maximum with the nipping at 15 cm plant height with planting geometry of 60×20 cm. Number of pods plant-1, weight of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1 were found significantly more with nipping at 15 cm height of plant in the combination of 60×20 cm planting geometry. Significantly highest seed yield was calculated with nipping at 15 cm plant height, while in relation to planting geometry the 50×16 and 60×20 cm were calculated statistically at par, but highest seed yield was calculated with 50×16 cm of planting geometry. The research concluded that nipping is a profitable practice for chickpea growers.",
