  "abstract": "<p>Nipping is considered to be the cause of increase in seed yield of chickpea. Whether, either morphs of chickpea (Desi &amp; Kabuli) verify this statement or not, an experiment was carried out using twenty chickpea genotypes (11 Desi &amp; 9 Kabuli) and two treatments (nipped, control). Two nippings were carried out with 20-25 days interval. Data analysis revealed highly significant differences among genotypes, treatments and genotype by nipping interaction for yield and yield attributing traits. Eight genotypes viz, NDC-4-20-3, NIFA-2005, Karak-2, SL-3-15, NKC-5-S-12, Karak-1, NDC-15-1 and SL-3-64 revealed positive response to nipping, which also provides green forage. Whereas, twelve genotypes including 3 Desi and 9 Kabuli genotypes showed disincline to nipping. It is concluded that nipping should not be practised without prior testing of its effect on genotypes.&nbsp; Moreover, Desi chickpea respond positively as compare to Kabuli chickpea. Seed yield plant-1 showed highly significant and positive genotypic and phenotypic correlation with secondary branches plant-1 (rg = 0.54,rp = 0.46), pods plant-1 (rg = 0.89,rp = 0.83), seeds pod-1 (rg = 0.58,rp = 54), biological yield plant-1 (rg = 0.97,rp = 0.92), 100-seed weight (rg = 0.52,rp = 0.53), suggesting these traits to be used as selection criteria for yield improvement.</p>",
