Experiments of cultivated in fields and in pots were established to evaluate 5 Phaseolus aureus varieties in Anhui province in 2012–2013. The objective of those experiments was to select optimum both green manure and feed crop varieties Experiments of cultivated in fields and in pots were established to evaluate 5 Phaseolus aureus varieties in Anhui province in 2012–2013. The objective of those experiments was to select optimum both green manure and feed crop varieties for Anhui area. The characters of the 5 varieties on roots, stems, leaves, flowers, pods and seeds were recorded in detail. Their growth characters and yields were surveyed. Weight of root nodule, content of nutrients such as N, P, K, Fe and Zn, content of nutrition matter such as crude protein，crude fat，crude fiber and amino acid in the varieties’ plants were measured in full bloom. The results showed that weight of root nodule were 16%–38% of the underground parts. Small robinia-flower lace-leaf P. aureus(SRLPA) was the largest of the varieties on seed yield, fresh-grass yield, dry matter yield, protein yield, capacity of accumulating nutrients such as N, P, K, Fe and Zn. Tongshan Small P. aureus(TSPA) and Big Lace-leaf P. aureus(BLPA) were more palatable for animal because of lower crude fiber and higher water in the fresh-grasses. Calculations were made based on mean of the varieties on capacity of nutrients accumulation, which showed that quantity of applying chemical N fertilizer would reduce 35% as green manuring. To make a comprehensive survey base on fresh-grass yield, dry matter yield，nutritional value, capacity of accumulating nutrients and growth stage, two optimum varieties were selected initially for Anhui area. They were SRLPA and BLPA.
