Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.)) can be used as food, feed (forage and seeds) and environmental services. Also, the plant can be a cover crop and green manure. Experiments was carried out during the seasons of 2017/18 and 2018/19 at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Gezira. Experiment aimed to investigate the effect of mixing of Abu 70, Sudan grass, Pioneer 988 and Sweet sorghum with velvet bean on forage yield. These crops were grown in pure stand and mixed in 1:1 and 1:2 ratios. The treatment combinations were arranged in a Randomized complete block design with three replications. Effect of mixing velvet bean with some grasses on forage yield showed that the fresh forage yield (ton/ha), relative yield and land equivalent ratio was highly significantly. The highest fresh forage yield (37.23 ton/ha) was recorded by velvet bean when mixed with Sudan grass )20 kg seeds /ha velvet been + 40 kg seeds /ha Sudan grass (1:2)(. In mono culture the highest fresh forage yield was recorded by Pioneer 988, followed by Sudan grass. Depending on the results of this study, it could be recommended that to obtain high forage mixing with Sudan grass should be adopted.

Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.)) can be used as food, feed (forage and seeds) and environmental services. Also, the plant can be a cover crop and green manure. Experiments was carried out during the seasons of 2017/18 and 2018/19 at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Gezira. Experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of three sowing date (15th of September, 15th of December and 15th of March) and three plant spacing (15, 30 and 45 cm) on forage and seed yield of velvet bean. The treatments were arranged in split –plot design, where sowing date assigned as main plot and plant spacing as sub-plot with four replications. Results showed that the effect of sowing date, plant spacing and their interaction on fresh forage yield, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed yield was highly significantly different. Plant spacing 30 cm and 15th of September sowing date produced the highest fresh forage and seed yield (21.97 and 3.85 ton ha-1), respectively. Based on the experimental results obtained from this study it could be recommended that the best combination for forage production and seed yield during different seasons is 15th of September sowing date and 30 cm plant spacing.
