Farmers in Northern India grow legumes as fodder in one season and wheat in the next season this is called crop rotation.
Crop rotation is a process where in different types of crops are grown in sequenced seasons so that the soil fertility is increased.
Legumes are grown because they have bacteria on nodules on the roots of the plant. These bacteria take nitrogen from the air and help to fix the same in the soil. This increases the soil fertility and when wheat is grown farmers get a healthy cultivation.
