Answer:
- Leguminous crops are grown in rotation with other crops.
- These help in replenishing the fertility of the soil.
- Leguminous crops contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as rhizobium.
- These bacteria trap nitrogen from the atmosphere and fix them into the soil in the form of nitrates and nitrites.
- The plant can use these nitrates and nitrites for their specific needs.
