Why does soil have nitrogen deficiency?
Many soils that have been extensively farmed, especially for non-legumes and for corn in particular, are nitrogen deficient. This is because the crops grown on these lands removed the nitrogen from the soil and were unable to replace it.
Where in the roots of the legumes does Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live?
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the root nodules of legumes.
Why don't legumes need nitrogen-containing fertillizers?
Legumes "fix" nitrogen in nodules on their roots, so they do not need additional nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

What has the author Albert Lemuel Whiting written?
Albert Lemuel Whiting has written: 'A biochemical study of nitrogen in certain legumes' -- subject(s): Legumes, Nitrogen, Legumes.
Why don't legumes need nitrogen containing fertilizers comment?
They have bacteria growing in their roots that take nitrogen from the air and supply it to the legumes.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in these structures found in the roots of legumes?

What plant family restores nitrogen to the soil?
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
Plants which assist in nitrogen fixation are?
Legumes
Why might farmers plant legumes such as peas to improve the nitrogen levels in the soil?
legumes contain high level of nitrogen which are leeched into the soil. this allows the farmer to then plant crops such as corn that use that nitrogen
