Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Legumes have nitrogen fixing Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules as symbionts. These nitrogen fixing bacteria convert the atmospheric nitrogen into biologically useful form such ammonia. Addition of ammonia to soil makes it fertile. Hence, farmers plant legumes to restore nutrient level of nutrient depleted soil.
