Chickpea response to five row spacing i.e. RS1 (15cm), RS2 (30 cm), RS3 (45 cm), RS4 (15/45 cm paired rows) and RS5 (15/75 cm paired rows) and four seeding rates i.e. S1 (60 kg per ha), S2 (75 kg per ha), S3 (90 kg per ha) and S4 (100 kg per ha) were studied in split plot arrangements. Main plot consisted of row spacing (RS) whereas seed rates were kept in sub-plots. The experiment was laid out at Arid Zone Research Institute Bhakkar during 2004-05 and 2005-06 with the objective to determine proper row spacing and seed rate for standardization of plant population per unit area and their interactive effects on chickpea yield. Yield and yield components were significantly affected by row spacing and seeding rates. The interaction between row spacing and seeding rates were also significant for the characters studied. Maximum average number of pods per plant (45.61), seeds per pod (1.957),100 seed weight (31.73 g) and CGR (9.66 g m-2 d-1) was recorded in 45 cm row spacing x 75 k
