Abstract
A 3-year study was conducted at the Beltsville Agricultural Research C enter, Beltsville, Md., to evaluate plant stand, growth, and yield of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars Carlo and Matador grown wi th conventional tillage (CT) or with no-tillage hairy vetch (Vicia vil losa Roth) (HV) mulch. Plant stand and dry mass of both cultivars in C T were similar to those in no-till HV. However, leaf area and yield wi th no-till HV were significantly higher than those with CT.
