Question

Farmers grow leguminous plants in between two season. what is the reason for this?

Answer 1

leguminous plants have nitrogen fixing bacteria at their root nodules. these bacteria take up atmospheric nitrogen and convert them to nitrous compounds which are useful to plants thus increasing the fertility of the soil. this helps in the growth of other plants grown with the leguminous plants .

Answer 2

Leguminous plants have an ability to fix the amount of nitrogen in the soil. This ensures the nutrient content and fertility of the soil for next season.
