Answers
The answer fro your question is the presence of enough amount of nitrogen traces in the soil that can help the growth of paddy in a great manner.
Crop rotations are as a usual process of agriculture. The process of growing paddy in the field where once groundnut was there is a type of crop rotations process in order to utilize the left over nutrition and nitrogen in the field.
Most of the root nodules of groundnut were left behind in the field after the harvest. The root nodules are the part of groundnut where the Rizhobia fixes the atmospheric nitrogen to plant utilizing nitrogen. When the root nodules of groundnut left behind in the field the Rizobia will keep converting the atmospheric Nitrogen. The Rizobia bacteria and the left over nitrogen traces will hep the paddy plant in a good nitrogen based condition.
