Abstract
For centuries, farmers practiced mixed cropping of leguminous and non-leguminous plants without knowing the basis of the empirically observed benefit from the practice. In 1838, it was first recognized that leguminous plants could utilize nitrogen (N2) from the air. This entry explores this process.
