Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influences of different plants covering on the agronomic characteristics of beans. The experiment was conducted on Red Latossol alumino-ferric, using randomized block design with four repetitions, being the data submitted to the Tukey test and compared by orthogonal contrasts. Treatments consisted of covering plants, carrying its growth in single system, as well as some consortia, across species: Flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum); Ryegrass ( Lollium multiflorum), Black and White Oats ( Avena stringosa and A. sativa), vetch ( Vicia sativa), wild radish ( Raphanus sativus) and Triticale ( Triticum secale). The agronomic attributes evaluated of bean were: the 1000 seeds per pod, length and number of pods per plant and plot, plant population and yield. Direct and different influence was verified on the components yield of beans, vegetables and the number of the larger relationship with productivity beans. Among the plants used predecessor, the Vetch and Turnip provided larger productive increment, differently of Ryegrass, as well as flaxseed, which resulted in lower yields beans.
