After a harvest, certain types of plants are preferably grown on the land to replenish the soil of depleted nutrients. This helps in reducing the dependence on artificial nitrogenous fertilizers.
Which of the following plants should be grown?
Rajma
Peas
Rajma and peas are pulses. They have root nodules which house a nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobium that helps replenish the soil with nitrogen. Thus, these crops should be preferably grown in alternate harvest cycles to replenish the nitrogen content of soil.
