What else can I help you with?
Can planting leguminous crops return nitrogen?
Yes, planting leguminous crops can return nitrogen to the soil. These plants have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. When leguminous crops are grown and then incorporated back into the soil as green manure or after they decompose, they enhance soil fertility by increasing nitrogen levels. This practice is beneficial for subsequent crops and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.
Why are tallness and profuse branching desirable traits for fodder crops?
Because the tallness enables the fodder crops to be easy to cut for hay or silage, and the profuse branching, especially with alfalfa, makes it easy for machines like the baler to pick up the swath without much waste. In some fodder crops, like in grass, profuse branching happens on a more microscopic level at ground level, making these grasses, called bunch grasses, desirable for grazing instead of for hay.
What crops improve soil fertility?
Leguminous crops, such as peas and beans, fix Nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants. "Cover crops" - winter rye for example - planted on the land when it is fallow, and then "plowed under" later - also improve the fertility, if given a season to decompose.
Isolation of siderophore producing bacteria from leguminous plants?

What crops comprise livestock fodder?
Grass, alfalfa, clover, and timothy are all used for livestock fodder.
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 food group does beans and pulses belong to?
Beans and pulses belong to the leguminous crops.
Difference between fodder and forage crops?

Define zayed crops with one example?
Zayed crops are crops which are grown between the Kharif and Rabi seasons. Examples: Watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops.
What is the importance of fodder crops to livestock?
Fodder crops are incredibly important to livestock, especially cattle. Feeding cattle and grazing them ultimately depends on the production of forage crops because these animals will not nor can not eat anything else. Cattle are herbivores and designed to eat plants that are impossible for us humans to eat, so in order for us to get beef and milk from these animals, we had--and have--to feed them according to what they can, will, and need to eat. Thus, no matter how or what cattle are fed, they all source from fodder crops.
