Question

Farmers prefer to grow beans and peas in nitrogen deficient soils. Why

Answer 1

These are leguminous plants that help to add nitrogen to the soil due to the fact that they have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots.

Answer 2

Bean and Peas are leguminous plants. They fix nitrogen in the soil with the help of Rhizobium bacteria present in the root nodules of the plants. Thus, they fixnitrogen and replenish the deficiency ofnitrogen in the soil. Therefore, farmers prefer to grow bean and peas in nitrogen deficient soil.
