N2  - Seventy-three hybrid populations of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were developed at Thika. Commencing at F(2), F(3) or BC(1), seeds from each population were separated into two portions. In subsequent segregating generations, each portion of seed was advanced and selected in pure stand or in association with maize at two locations in Kenya. In order to characterize the ideal bean genotype for cultivation in association with maize, the performances of genotype groups were compared with respect to yield, yield components and developmental plant characteristics. Genotype by cropping system interactions were addressed. In a series of four experiments, the
