O. M. S. H. K. RANASINGHE1 and G. J. MAYHEAD2

1Department of Botany, University of Sri Jayewardenepura Nugegoda, Sri Lanka
2School of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, University College of North Wales Bangor. LL57 2UW, Wales

Dwarf French beans and broad beans were grown at 0.25 m x 0.25 m for 2 years with a without cuttings of Populus ‘RAP’ at spacings of 2.0 m x 0.5 m and 3.0 m x 0.5 m. The presence of beans lead to a greater height and diameter growth and greater total dry matter production per hectare of the Populus at both spacings after 2 years. Bean yield was reduced at the end of the second year by the presence of Populus; there was no effect at the end of the first year.
