Leguminous plants have nodules on their roots containing bacteria which can fix nitrogen contained in the air in the soil. This nitrogen becomes available to the plant, which uses the nitrogen as an essential part of the proteins of its cells. Other types of plant cannot do this, and have available only the nitrate which is already present in the water in the soil.

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.
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 is the genus of the nitrogen fixing bacteria that is common with leguminous plants?
Usually Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium.
How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Some plants are leguminous and have root nodules by which they are able to directly absorb the nitrogen from the atmosphere. If the are not leguminous, they get the nitrogen from the soils via their roots. For the same purpose of supplying nitrogen to the plants, farmers also add nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil which provides sufficient amount of nitrogen to the plants
What kind of agriultural plants have protein in them?
All plants have protein in them. Plants, just like humans need proteins to grow and survive.
Identify one plant which is rich in protein?
Leguminous plants are rich in protein for the following reason. Leguminous plants have nodules on their roots containing bacteria which can fix nitrogen contained in the air in the soil. This nitrogen becomes available to the plant, which uses the nitrogen as an essential part of the proteins of its cells. Other types of plant cannot do this, and have available only the nitrate which is already present in the water in the soil.
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.
Isolation of siderophore producing bacteria from leguminous plants?
yes.we can isolate bacteria from leguminous plant.
How will the removal of leguminous plants affect the nitrogen cycle?
it affects the nitrogen cycle as the leguminous plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots and these nitrogen-fixing bacteria help to collect nitrogen which is transferred to animals when these leguminous plants have been eaten.
What does nodules of leguminous plants contain?
rhizobium
Where are leguminous plants grown?
in farm crops
What is the name of the bacteria in the leguminous plants?
Rhizobium.
How does leguminous leaf add values to us as population?
Protein.
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.
Which plant changes the soil pH?
Leguminous plants.
How do you save the nitrogen cycle?
Planting leguminous plants
What is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants?
it is rhizobium
