What are two major ways in which nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems?
Two major ways whereby nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems are through rainfall and through leguminous crops.
What crops improve soil fertility?
Leguminous crops, such as peas and beans, fix Nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants. "Cover crops" - winter rye for example - planted on the land when it is fallow, and then "plowed under" later - also improve the fertility, if given a season to decompose.
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
Because leguminous plants are those plants which have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots in the modules of nitrogen. thus to fix the nitrogen to the soil or in crops is the work of those bacteria namely rhizobium and azotobacter thus without these plants we wont have these bacterias and alos the nitrogen
Write importance of leguminous plant roots?
leguminous plants are grown after one yield because it increases a fertility of the soil leguminous plants are containing highly nitrate in it it also helps in grows of crops by this ways we can get good yield it also helps our farmers to lead a life by this ways our countries per capita income rises by this ways we can alives a name of India as agricultural countries
What are the beneficial effects of planting legumes together with rice or other non leguminous crops?
Legumes have nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in nodules on their roots. Thus, they add nitrogen fertilizer to the soil.
What is the name of crop that is grown alternately?
The growing of different kinds of crops on a piece of land in a preplanned succession is known as crop rotation. In the rotation of crops, leguminous crops like pulses, beans, peas, groundnut and Bengal gram are sown in-between the seasons of cereal crops like wheat, maize and pearl millet. The leguminous plants are grown alternately with non-leguminous plants to restore the fertility of the soil. When the cereal crops like rice, wheat, maize are grown in the soil, it uses up a lot of nitrogenous salts from the soil. If another crop of cereal is grown in the same soil, the soil becomes nitrogen deficient. So by rotation a leguminous crop is grown. There plants have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen to form nitrogen compounds through the help of certain bacteria present in their root. These nitrogen compounds go into the soil and make it more fertile. After the leguminous plants utilize some of the nitrogen compounds, the rest of it is left in the soil to enrich it. Thus, planting a leguminous plant will result in nitrogen rich soil and when a cereal is grown in this soil there is increase in food grain production.
Why do farmers grow leguminous crops between 2 other plants?
They have nodules on their roots which contain nitrogen fixing bacteria. These take the nitrogen from the air and convert it to nitrogen compounds in the soil which plants use as nutrients. In short, using leguminous plants increases the fertility of the soil.

What are two major ways in which nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems?
Two major ways whereby nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems are through rainfall and through leguminous crops.
Where are leguminous plants grown?
in farm crops
What is the meaning of leguminous?
Leguminous crops belong to the Fabaceae family, they are flowering plants that have pods (or legumes) and enable the storage of nitrogen-rich material: includes peas, beans, clover, alfa alfa etc.
What leguminous crops can fatten beef cattle?
Basically any crop that has a high protein value (almost all leguminous crops do) examples are beans, alfalfa, clover, and soy.
Why are pulses alternated with crops like wheat or paddy?
The alternating with pulses, a nitrogen fixing plant, helps replenish what's lost while planting wheat and paddy. The pulses aid in restoring the amount of nitrogen back into the soils.
Which is the stabilizer of soil to check soil erosion?
leguminous crops
What did AAA do?
AAA controlled the supply of seven "basic crops" by offering payments to farmers in return for taking some of their land out of farming, not planting crops.
