Livestock industry in Western Kazakhstan is one of the most important sectors at the national level. The sustainable livestock production is largely based on the fodder production. The chickpea is one of the most important fodder legume in the world. Preceding culture, seeding timing, seeding rate and seeding depth greatly may influence the chickpea growth and production. In this study, the technology of chickpea growing in dry-steppe area of Western Kazakhstan is presented. The chickpea was planted on the plot where the previous crop was wheat by random spreading method of sowing, which ensures optimum nutrition area for each plant. Phenological phases of the growth and development of chickpea was monitored during the vegetation season. Results showed that the height of attachment of the lower beans corresponded to the requirements of mechanical harvesting and was at 20 cm. The relatively favourable conditions of the first half of the chickpea vegetation contributed to the good ovary of the beans. According to field records, one chickpea plant produced up to 10 beans. However, 60-70% of the beans were productive due to a set of the factors, where the most influential was the biological characteristics of chickpea.
