[QUOTE="Spud, post: 6358202, member: 78"] I left the w bean volunteers in some wheat until March, then sprayed them out before they became too much competition for the wheat. (there was more volunteers than normal due to the poor yield last year making for more combine header losses) That field has had 40kg less N than the wheat after oats or spuds, and looks every bit as good. I wouldnt of expected as much residual N to be left after the previous bean crop as normal, because it was half the crop of normal. (normally wheat after beans gets 20kg less N) It was a bit of an experiment, but I see little negative effect. My biggest concern of using beans as a companion or cover crop is that of bean stem nematode - theres a couple of farms around with a bit of a problem - its like take all for pulses, not good.
