Research studies were conducted in 1999-01 in Garlica Murowana near Krakow and Felin near Lublin. They aimed at defining the effect of locality and sowing term on chosen morphological features of two chickpea cultivars belonging to different types. The cultivars used in the study (Sanford - kabuli type and Myles - desi type) differed morphologically. As a warm climate species, the chickpea cultivated in Poland meets a climatic obstacle resulting from low air temperature combined with high total precipitation at flowering and pod setting. Cultivar, sowing term, and proper localization are main factors influencing vegetative growth. Plants of both chickpea cultivars, cultivated in Lublin, were shorter than plants from Krakow. In the years 2000-01 it might have resulted from higher total precipitation in Kraków in the April-June period. Delaying of sowing term caused inferior vegetative growth of both chickpea cultivars in Krakow. Sanford generated more lateral branches on the plant in Lublin (3.7-4.8) in comparison with in Krakow (3.2-4.2). Myles generated more branches when sown early. In the year 2001 both chickpea cultivars in Lublin set higher number of pods, as the effect of 58.3 mm higher total of July precipitation on this locality. Neither localization nor sowing term had the influence on number of seeds per pod
