In order to reduce successive cropping obstacles, optimize field arrange-ment of double-cropping of sorghum and soybean and improve yields, the research used Guojiaohong No.1 and Nandou No.12 as raw materials to explore the effects of different field arrangements on yield and benefits of double-cropping. The results indicated that with the double-cropping, both of gross yield and output value were higher compared with single-cropping treatments; yield, thousand-grain weight, the weight of grain per ear, and ear length of the 1st-season glutinous sorghum de-creased as compartment width grew, and of regenerated sorghum and soybean changed from increasing to decreasing. Specifical y, with double-cropping system, gross yield of glutinous sorghum reached the highest at 8 352.9 kg/hm2 with com-partment width of 1.7 m and soybean yield the highest at 1 888.95 kg/hm2 with compartment width of 1.8 m. Additional y, gross output value and net incomes achieved the highest at 47 293.92 yuan/hm2 and 29 976.42 kg/hm2 for the two crops, with compartment width of 1.7 m, fol owed by the treatment with compart-ment width of 1.8 m. In general, the treatments with compartment widths of 1.7 and 1.8 m are optimal field arrangement. Additional y, output-to-input ratio was the high-est in the treatment with single-cropping glutinous sorghum and the least in the treatment with single-cropping soybeans.
