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 happens to plant growth when you increase the amounts of fertilizer?
Plant growth will increase when fertilizer is added, in as much as the plant is deficient in the nutrients the fertilizer provides. Most processes in nature has a bell-shaped to its function where too much, even of a good thing, can begin to do harm.

Fertilizer helps to provide nutrients. When added to soil, plants and flowers can greatly benefit from the minerals and nutrients.
What is in fertilizer that helps plants grow faster?
Nitrogenous fertilizer makes most growth but a balanced fertilizer is required to control growth. Caution: Some plants either produce their own nitrogen or obtain it from other sources. Carnivorous plants can be killed by too much nitrogen in the soil as they eat insects to collect nitrogen along with other nutrients while some vines and all clovers produce their own nitrogen in the soil and don't benefit at all from it being added to the soil.

Do plants need vitamins b complex?
It has always been believed that b1 is a cure all for plant transplant shock, there are many different varieties on the market to choose from, but through my own studies I have found that it is actually choosing the proper fertilizer that makes all the difference. I discovered this by transplanting many different varieties of plants and giving some just b-1, some a balanced fertilizer, and others a fertilizer with b-1 added. What I found was that the plants on fertilizer, and fertilizer containing b-1 both did better than the ones on just b-1. B vitamins are used in cell reproduction, espaecially b-12 but are not found naturally in plants, these are produced by bacteria not normally found in the plants.
