Cereal in their natural form (as in whole grain), they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals,carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein. and for legumes they help the soil by replenishing it with nutrients such as nitrogen

What other benefit is there to planting a cereal grain like oats in our garden? Hint: think roots!

Well, soil needs many different nutrients, one of the more important nutrients is nitrogen. Legumes have a bacteria called Rhizobium that can "adjust" the Nitrogen levels in the soil. Cereal grains (wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, etc.) are good for double-cropping with legumes.

What do you mean by the term "double cropping", besides from a financial benefit what biological benefit come from using cereal grains in the soil?

I mean the practice of growing multiple crops in the same place at the same time. Cereal grains benefit crops because their thick roots help suppress weeds.

Nancy you smart pickle, i belive double-cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same space during a single growing season.

Both Legumes and cereal grains add a lot to the soil.Theyadd organic matter and recycle nutrients. Legumes inparticular like alfalfa,add nitrogen to the soil.Which is beneficial for other crops. Cereals liike oats and wheat are verybeneficial for the soil. They can enrich the soil for crops like tomatoes which are hard on the soil. They also may decrease incidents of some diseases like nematodes, but that is just a theory. Cereal grains are usually planted in the winter, which enables crops planted in the summer to have a higher yield grade.

Soil needs many different types of nutrients in order to help plants grow. Cereal grains and legumes both add nutrients to the soil that with help the next plant to grow. The main thing they do is leave nitrogen different vitamins and proteins. These are all very benificial towards plants growth.

there are 12 nutrients in which a plant must take up from the soil, these nutrients are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Boron, Copper, and Molybdenum

Nitrogen helps in the creation of chlorophyll. It helps plants grow stronger and more lush.

Nitrogen can also help strengthen the root system of a plant. It should alos be noted that too much nitrogen can be just as bad as too little.

Nitrogen is not beneficial to the the fertilization of alfalfa. Nitrogen fertilizer is generally not required for alfalfa production since alfalfa can obtain its own Nitrogen from N-fixing nodules (Figure 1).

Legumes are rich in protien and add nitrogen to the soil. Cereal grains add nutrients back in the soil, preparing the soil for other crops.

Cereal grain and legumes nutrients to the plants soil. Legumes add nitrogen to the soil and cereal grains add nutrients to the soil when you plant them.

crops require mineral nutrients, the most important is nitrogen. exhausted soils are usually low in nitrogen, yet legumes have a bacteria called Rhizobium which can fix the nitrogen levels in the soil. having this can make it easier for the plant to grow

Legumes help enrich the soil with nitrogen and cereal grains help with weed suppression. The large root system of cereal grains help break up hard packed soil to allow nutrients and water to move around.

Legumes can be used as a green manure, a general term used for plants that enrich soil fertility. Green manuring with legumes involves growing the plants, then slashing the crop and leaving it on the soil surface. Leaving the crop on the soil surface has additional benefits, as it also reduces soil erosion and conserves soil moisture. A green manure drawback is that it involves the loss of a growing season.The grain is not harvested from the legume and it displacces the cereal crop.

Legumes and cereal grains improve the plant nutrition by adding nutrients to the soil. The legumes also benefit the soil by including nitrogen to the soil.

Cereals enrich the soil by adding nutrients and they decrease the chance of any disease. When cereals are planted in the winter they make the soil better for planting in the summer. Legumes also add nutrients to the soil but it is different because it adds nitrogen to the soil which helps other crops grow better and healthier. Both legumes and cereals, such as wheat, add organic material to the soil and recycle nutrients.

The cereal grain and legumes supply the soil with plant nutrients and organic matter. Legumes can be used as green manure and that is when the plant is used to enrich the soil fertility. Legumes reduce soil pathogens and supply nitrogen. Cereal grains provide quick ground cover even when the weather is cool.

Nitrogen is beneficial to the soil and the plant because it helps regulate the soils structure and helps the plant regulate its nutritonal intake corrosponding with the bacteria in the soil

Well, I know that legumes are "soil enriching green manure" that does nitrogen fixation in the soil. Their roots have nodules that contain a bacteria that helps to restore nitrogen in the soil. Cereal grains are rich in vitamins, minerals, carbs, fats, oils, and proteins. But I'm not sure what exactly they do for the soil. Do they also do nitrogen fixation or restore nutrients into the soil in some way?

Nitrogen is an important component to the plant and also required, but when legumes is added to the soil it is rich in protein and by also adding cereal grains it is likely to decrease disease and cereal grains planted in the winter time result in efficient growth in the summer for these plants.

because much of the nitrogen they require is produced through fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by bacteria in nodules on their roots.Legumes are rich in protein. Rhizobia are soil bacteria that fix nitrogen after becoming established inside root nodules of legumes. Rhizobia require a plant host; they cannot independently fix nitrogen. In general, they are Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating rods.

Cereals add nutrients to the soil and also possibly decrease the chances of disease in the soil. When planted in the winter, cereal grains benefit the summer crops in that they may have a higher yield. The roots of cereals are large root systems that break up hard packed soil, allowing for the free movement of water and nutrients. Legumes perform nitrogen fixation within the soil, and are enriching green manure sources, where they are left on top of the soil surface after being cut to enrich the soil with the nutrients it contains.

Besides adding Nitrogen for tissue development, phosphorous for root growth and Potassium for flower and seed maturation, cereal grain roots are important for water and nutrient permeability as well as soil structure.
