The research aim to determine the period prior to weed interference on common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The treatments had been made out of seven periods of coexisting by the culture with the weed 0-10, 0-20, 0-30, 0-40, 0-50, 0-60, and 0 70 days after crop emergence in absence and presence crop residue. It had reduction of 40.56% and 55.12%, the productivity of grains in the culture of the common bean when the coexistence with the weed was during all the cycle of the culture, in absence and presence crop residue, respectively. It was concluded that grain yield was negatively affected from the 29th and 38th days after emergence, in the absence and presence of crop residue, respectively.
