The common bean cultivar Iraí, type I, was grown during the latter season of 2001 in Santa Maria-RS, in four plant populations (200, 300, 400, and 500 thousand plants ha-1). The experiment design used randomized blocks with four replications. The grain yield, yield components and some morphological traits were evaluated. There were no significant differences among populations in grain yield, number of pods m-2, number of grains pod-1, average weight of hundred grains, and plant high.
