Crop plants belonging to family Fabaceae are known as leguminous crops. Chickpea, pea, pigeon pea, lentil, green gram, groundnut, soyabean etc are the examples of leguminous crops.
Leguminous plants are well known for their autonomy to fix atmospheric nitrogen. The nitrogen fixed in the roots of leguminous plants are released to the soil, thus they are helpful in maintaining the fertility of soil. This is the main reason while leguminous crops are grown in rotation with non-leguminous crops.
Growing of different kinds of crops on a piece of land is called as crop rotation.
Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of cropsin the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms is not used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield.
