Intercropping has as main objectives to achieve high productivity per unit of area and promote the sustainability of the production system. Because of the taro and snap beans plant morphologies, space used, crop cycle, climate requirements and tolerance of taro plants to partial shade, the intercropping of these crops can anticipate, expand and diversify the income into the farms. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic viability and economic yield of taro (Colocasia esculenta) intercropped (additive association) with snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) with indeterminate growth habit. The experiment was conducted at field, in Horta of the Departamento de Fitotecnia of Universidade Federal de Viçosa, from October 2011 to June 2012. The experiment consisted of seven treatments, represented by three intercrops of taro with snap beans, set up at 0, 21, and 42 days after planting the taro, and four monocultures, represented by three snap beans established in the same time of intercropping with taro and taro as monoculture. We used a randomized complete block design with four replications. The propagative material used was Japonês‟ clone and snap bean Estrela‟ variety. The determination of the total crop production cost was based on the operational production operations. All the intercropping systems were agronomically viable by presenting Efficient Use of Land (EUL) above the unit. Among these, the snap bean intercropped with taro implemented at 0 and 21 days after planting of taro showed better results, due to higher economic yield.
