Growing cover crops preceding planting common beans and corn may influence the yield of these cash crops. This study aimed to evaluate the biomass production and decomposition of crop residue cover and yield of maize and beans grown on these soils as coverings of plants. The experiment was conducted under field conditions in the 2011/12 harvest in Uberaba. With a randomized block designed in a split - plot scheme, seven cover crops were used : sunn hemp ( Crotalaria spectabilis ), jack bean ( Canavalia ensiformis DC.), mil- let ADR300, ADR500 and ENA2 ( Pennisetum glaucum L.), Sorgo (S orghum bicolor L.) and brachiária ( Urochloa brizantha cv Marandú), and subplots in annual succession crops (maize and bean). The millets ADR300, ADR500 and ENA2 among Poaceae and jack beans between Fabaceae produced more dry biomass (9.8, 8.9, 8.6 and 3.8 t ha - 1 ), respectively; after 150 days of decomposition of plant residues of sunn hemp, jack bean, sorghum, brachiaria, millet ADR500, millet ENA2 and millet ADR300 were in the order of 67.9; 71.7; 53.8; 61.7; 49.9; 45.5 and 46.7%, respectively; the maize yield was higher when the culture was grown on resi- dues of millet ENA2 (7.2 t ha - 1 ) and jack bean (6.8 t ha - 1 ), while the bean was higher when grown on millet ADR300 (1.3 t ha - 1 ) and sunn hemp (1.2 t ha - 1 ).
