Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules assisted by soil bacteria. With adequate plant food and soil conditions a good legume crop can add over 100 pounds of available nitrogen per acre and improve organic matter. Phosphorus and potash supplies are sufficient to meet farming needs and support nitrogen fixation for strong stands.
