Legume crops are plants that belong to the family Fabaceae, known for their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. This process enhances soil fertility, making legumes valuable in crop rotation systems. Common examples of legume crops include soybeans, peas, and lentils, which are cultivated for their seeds, pods, or foliage. These crops are not only important for agriculture but also provide essential nutrients for human and animal diets. They are rich in protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Additionally, legumes contribute to sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
