General Information
Belongs to the Fabacaeae family

Beans host nitrogen fixing bacteria.  While it is terrific for some plants it is also too much for others. Above the Brassica family is either helped or hindered by the Bean family.  The conclusion is that too much of a good thing hampers the beans growth.
