Help? Leguminous plants? ''Farmers often plough leguminous plants into the soil. Why is this a good thing to do''
This is a question and I have to be able to answer it fully in class. There's other questions too, but I found the answers to those. I did research but I couldn't find anything about this.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Legumes (peanuts, beans, alfalfa, etc.) fix nitrogen in the soil. Most plants need fixed nitrogen to grow. It's necessary for farmers to grow legumes every few years because other plants consume all of the fixed nitrogen.
