A French pure line of faba bean, 29H, was planted at three densities, 4, 17 and 55 plants/m2, to study the limiting factors in leaf canopy development, how competition affects yields, and which yield components are affected by competition. The leaf area, dry matter of different plant parts, number of stems per plant, and several climatic observations were recorded. Leaf area, leaf index, transmitted and incident PAR, interception efficiency, and dry matter were all affected by density
