Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

Why is nitrogenous fertilizer not added in soil in which leguminous plants are grown?
Because leguminous plants are capable of fixing free nitrogen from the air with help of their root nodules. Thus soil get rich in nitrates in those places where these plants are grown.
What are legum?
Legumes are plants that can use nitrogen from the air for growth. This nitrogen can be added to the soil to increase soil fertility. Legumes include peas and beans.
Where are leguminous plants grown?
in farm crops
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.
Which plant can be grown by using methi as a biofertilizer?
Any plant requiring nitrogen may be grown as Methi is leguminous plant . .
How leguminous plan important for us?
Legumes are important for two reasons. One, the bacteria on their roots convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is a form of nitrogen that plants can utilize. Two, many types of legumes are important food crops. As a result, legumes are the most commonly used plants in crop rotation. Legumes can be grown on nitrogen depleted soil and will replenish the soil's nitrogen levels for future crops, and at the same time they provide useful food for humans.
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 other way plants can grow with out soil?
Plants can be grown by a system called hydroponics, where they are grown in a nutrient rich liquid (ie water with fertilizer added); instead of soil.
Why are most fertilizers rich in nitrogen and phosphorous?
Adding phosphorus to soil that needs more, promotes root growth, winter hardiness, and can hasten maturity in the plants grown there. Nitrogen helps plants to grow and helps them to feed themselves.
