In order to promote the culture of castor bean, soybean, cowpea and d u bean in Cameroon while preserving food safety, the effect of the combination of the crop characteristics physicochemical seeds of this plant are studied in Laboratory after the cultivation of castor in combination with these three field grain legumes in Sudano-Guinean zone of Adamaoua and in the Eastern Bimodal Forest at Cameroon in 2015 and 2016. The physical characteristics such as length, width, thickness, seed mass and weight of one thousand seeds and chemical properties are the s of castor seeds (the moisture content, the content of castor bean, the mass density, the consumer acid, iodine, and saponification of esters) and Leguminous (the protein content, the sugar content and the ash content) are evaluated. The results show that the physico-chemical properties of castor seeds and legumes do not vary, regardless of the study zone, thus showing that these seeds can be grown in different zones without losing their characteristics. Castor bean contents of the grain is varied from 45.27
