A field trial was conducted to determine the optimum row spacing for chickpea crop for its better plant development to obtain maximum seed yield under the rainfed condition of Dera Ismail Khan. All the row spacing influenced the seed yield but use of narrow spacing of 30 produced significantly maximum yield of 2994, 2392 kg/ha whereas lowest yield 1834 and 1441 kg/ha obtained by wider spacing of 70 cm both the year respectively. The said treatment also produced the greatest 1000 seed weight.
