In order to find essential information for efficiency management of sorghum and corn fields in sole cropping and intercropping patterns should be conduct experiment at the field condition. The quantity performance of intercropping of forage sorghum with soybean and green bean were studied through factorial experiment. The treatment of two rows sorghum + one row green bean had a highest land equivalency ratio (LER= 1.6). This means that the performance of intercropping is 60% more than single cropping. The other experiment also showed; double - row planting arrangement of on one double - row rebased a row maize and another row soybean with 65000 plant per hectare corn and 475000 plant per hectare soy bean is the best choice for forage production. It was conclude that by using double planting pattern with changing arrangement and density the most yield obtained.
