How much nitrogen is left in the soil after harvesting a leguminous crop?

∙ 11y ago
It depends on:
- How much nitrogen was in the soil before the legume was planted
- Nitrogen-holding capacity of the soil type
- How much nitrogen was washed away by precipitation during the season
- Which legume crop was grown
- How efficient the bacteria nodulation was
This is why soil testing is so important.

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.
Cut stalk left in ground after harvesting cereal crop?
Stubble
Is standing crop the same as residuum?
Standing crop is crop left in the field that has not been harvested and residuum is the stuble left in the field after harvest
What kind of bacteria annually saved farmers millions of dollars in fertilizer costs?
Bacteria which are part of the Rhizobia family can "fix" nitrogen in the soil when living in a symbiotic relationship with a legume (Fabaceae) plant. The bacteria live in nodules which form on the roots of the plants, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form which is left in the soil for the next crop. Nitrogen is the most-needed crop nutrient of all the fertilizers, and is frequently the most expensive fertility cost for the farmer.

What do you mean by falloowing and green manure?
Fallowing is when a field is left to remain unploughed or sown for a week or more or even a season or two. Green manuring is when a quick growing crop is grown, not for harvesting, but to be ploughed in, adding nutrients into the ground, and improving the soil texture.
What is plant stalks are left behind in the fields after harvesting to reduce soil erosion?
They are typically called after-stems.
