plants like pea beans and soya bean are known as leguminous plants. the ability to fix gaseous nitrogen into nitrogenous salts makes leguminous plants ideal agricultural organisms. they thus‚ helps to reduce the use of Nitrogen fertilizers for meeting the requirement of the plants in the fields.
these plants have roots nodules and their roots that are associated with bacteria like rhizobium. the bacteria convert gaseous nitrogen into nitrates that can be used by plants as a source of Nitrogen.
leguminous plants can grow well even in the soils poor in the sources of Nitrogen. such plants grown in a field also help the other crops in the same field to get sufficient nitrogen salts. after a leguminous crop is harvested the roots of these plants are left in the soil to decay. this process enriches the soil with nitrogen compounds that can be utilised by the next generation of plants in the same field
