A farmer was planting wheat crops in his field. He added nitrogen-rich fertiliser Class 8

A farmer was planting wheat crops in his field. He added nitrogen-rich fertiliser to the soil to get a good yield of crops. In the neighbouring field, another farmer was growing bean crops, but she preferred not to add nitrogen fertiliser to get healthy crops. Can you think of the reasons? Class 8

Answer:

Beans are leguminous crops that form a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria present in their root nodules. These bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, providing a natural source of nitrogen. Therefore, the second farmer does not need to add nitrogen-rich fertiliser.
