Answer 2

Answer:

Two leguminous plants like pulses, peas have the capacity to fix nitrogen.

Explanation:

This happens by means of nitrogen fixation in the soil.

Certain bacteria belonging to the rhizobium family are observed in the roots of the leguminous plants. These bacteria and the leguminous plants are in a symbiotic relationship.

Rhizobium bacteria are capable of absorbing nitrogen from the atmosphere. Since it is living in the roots, it fixes the nitrogen in the soil. This, in turn, helps the plants to absorb nitrogen from the soil. The bacteria or it's part gets a space to live and nutrients for its sustenance.

This is also the reason why leguminous plants are planted after annual crops to replenish the soil’s strength.
