Question

Why is it not necessary to add nitrogenous fertilizer for the cultivation of pulses(leguminous)?​

Answer 1

Do not apply nitrogenous fertilizers during cultivation because these crops have "rhizobium bacteria". These types of bacteria are always available inside the root cells of leguminous plants and it also fixes nitrogen gas present in the atmosphere and supplies it to the plant as ammonia..

Answer 2

Nitrogenous fertilizer for the cultivation of leguminous crops:

Explanation:

• The adjective leguminous is used to characterize plants that belong to the legume family, which includes plants that produce beans, peas, and lentils. The edible seed pods of these plants are often referred to as legumes (the beans, peas, lentils, and other things that they bear as fruit).
• In the root nodules of legume crops, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium spp.) can be found. These bacteria convert air nitrogen to nitrates, which are then used by plants.
• As a result, nitrogen fertilizers for leguminous crops are not required.
