Abstract: Physical properties of chickpea i.e. average aspect ratio, surface area, bulk density, true density, moisture content and porosity of chickpea were observed 75.54 %, 157.379 mm2, 709.55 kg/m3, 875.50 kg/m3 , 19.81 % and 18.62 % respectively. Mean spacing was found more accurate in 45o inclination of seed box form horizontal which was 20.03 cm. and average field efficiency and time required for one ha was 63.63% and 0.44 h/ha respectively.
Keywords: planter, chickpea, inclined
