Doesn't the whole plant need to be re-tilled into the soil to actually fix nitrogen?

Typically getting the fruit (beans) drains the soil, so for cover cropping you till all of it in before then.

The entire plant contains nitrogen, so you can take the beans and till the rest back in and it should still be net positive, I think. I'm not a botanist.
