Question

what is the importance of cultivating leguminous plants

Answer 1

Answer:

Leguminous crops are important because they increase the fertility of soil by addition of nitrogen. In fact a nitrogen fixing bacterium named Rhizobium forms symbiotic association with the roots of leguminous crops and fixes nitrogen.

Answer 2

Leguminous plants have root nodules that contain nitrogen fixing bacteria. A symbiotic relationship between the plant and rhizobium gives rise to these. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms that are usable by the plants such as ammonia. They restore the lost nitrogen content of the soil.
