CONTEXTUAL REFERENCE
In English, both general and academic, words like WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT, WHOSE, ABOUT, WHOM, TO WHICH, WHERE, WHEN, OF WHOM, OF WHICH and many more are used to refer to something that have been said before, or to what is going to be said. EXAMPLES: The emission of greenhouse gases contributes to increasing global atmospheric concentrations of theses gases. Global average net effect leads to global warming. If the two clauses are joined together, we can have the following: a) The emission of greenhouse gases contributes to increasing global atmospheric concentrations of theses gases, which global average net effect leads to global warming. b) The emission of greenhouse gases contributes to increasing global atmospheric concentrations of theses gases, that global average net effect leads to global warming. c) The emission of greenhouse gases contributes to increasing global atmospheric concentrations of theses gases, where global average net effect leads to global warming.

CHAPTER THREE
In Writing an article on agriculture, anyway in writing any article, the writer sometimes needs to define a term he is going to use throughout his article, and he might even feel it necessary to define a process by describing the course of action (s) it involves. In this chapter you are shown how to make a fine definition or description.
DEFINITION
Defining a part of a plant involves three things, namely: naming it stating the class it belongs to; and describing its function. Now assume that A = name, B = class, C = function. Notice how definitions using scientific English can be formulated A B C or as B C A.

DESCRIPTION
Process can be explained by defining what happens during their course of action, or by using a general statement. Pay close attention to the following example. Some examples are: 1. Intensive livestock production is connected with a number of environmental
effects, which include emissions to the air, e.g . ammonia, odour, non-CO2 greenhouse gases (methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O)) and particulate matter, and discharges to soils and surface waters (e.g . nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals)1.

CHAPTER FIVE
PARALLEL
STRUCTURE AND PAIRED CONJUNCTIONS
22
PARALEL STRUCTURE
On use of a conjunction is to connect words or phrases that have the same grammatical function in a sentence. This use of conjunctions is called in PARALEL STRUCTURE. The single conjunctions used in this pattern are, among others, AND, BUT, OR and NOR. They are also referred to coordinating conjunctions.
Study the following four examples on the usage of single conjunctions. 1. -Odour emissions from animal housing is being increasingly
-Land application of manure is being increasingly The actor are different. The activities in the two clauses are the same. Odour emissions from animal housing and land application of manure are being increasingly. 2. - Air treatment offers the possibility to achieve removal of not just one compound - Air treatment of a combined removal of a variety of pollutants (ammonia, odour and particulate matter) at the same time The activities are different. The actors in the two clauses are the same. Air treatment offers the possibility to achieve removal of not just one compound but of a combined removal of a variety of
23
pollutants (ammonia, odour and particulate matter) at the same time. Source : (Air Treatment Techniques for Abatement of Emissions from Intensive Livestock Production).http://springerlink.metapress.com/content/f4857j8545426807/f
ulltext.pdf.2009
PAIRED CONJUNCTIONS
In section above you are shown how hingle conjunctions can be used to join two or more clauses into one new sentence. In English you can find paired conjunctions carrying the same function as single ones.
Some examples of paired conjunctions are: BOTHAND.. NOT ONLYBUTALSO
Study the following examples to see how paired conjunctions are used. 1. In order to reduce the environmental impacts of livestock production both national and international regulations went into effect that deal with these issues.
24
2. The use of these strategies can reduce the ammonia emission both for pigs [9-13], poultry [14-16] and dairy cattle [17, 18]. 3. Different emission reduction measures, both source
measures and end-of-pipe measures, can be combined so higher emission reductions and/or an increase of the overall cost-efficiency might be achieved.

Forage type had a significant effect on where deer preferred to graze both within each trial period (early, mid, and late) (p<0.001) and during the entire trial (p<0.0001) (ANOVA results not shown). 6. Field pea and berseem clover were both high yielding and high quality; a finding that supports other research in western Canada [2, 9]. In contrast, preference for turnip increased to

CHAPTER
SIX
In a procedure text, the description of processes makes use of words or words or phrases such as first (ly), then, the next step, the next stage, subsequently, finally to introduce each stage. Some examples are : The first prototypes of multi-pollutant scrubbers for pig and poultry farms, combining the concepts of acid scrubbing, bioscrubbing, water-curtains, and biofiltration, are in operation now on a limited number of farms; research and development in this field has started recently [63-66]. However, after ammonia has been removed from the air, biofiltration can be effectively used as a polishing step for effective odour removal. After discharge the water might be treated in a denitrification reactor and partly reused in the scrubber; this might drastically reduce the net discharge water flow rate from the combined bioscrubber-denitrification system.

Photosynthetic pigments were extracted according to Arnon method [14]. Date palm leaf samples (0.5 g) were ground using mortar and pestle in 5 ml of 80% acetone, then filtered through No. 2 Whatman filter paper. Date palm seeds (cv. Khalas) were sterilized with 1% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min. Soaked in water for 24 h, then germinated on moist filter paper at 37C. Seedlings placed in 9 cm petri dishes at age of 15 days, 7 seedlings per dish, were subjected to either static magnetic field (SMF) or alternating magnetic field (AMF). After treatment, each seedling was planted in 20-cm plastic pots containing potting mix (1 soil: 1 peat moss: 1 vermiculate) and maintained in greenhouse under natural light at temperature of 30 41C and relative humidity of 50%.

Annual forages are commonly used in livestock production systems throughout the world and complement or provide valuable alternatives to perennial forages. Incorporating annuals in a grazing system rapidly increases short-term pasture forage options during times when perennial forages are not available. Annual forages are used on the prairies of Western Canada for silage and pasture production [1, 2]. Studies in British Columbia [3], Montana [4] and Atlantic Canada [5] have demonstrated the potential of Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum L.) and berseem clover (T.
alexandrinum L.) for high-quality forage. In Michigan, annual medics (Medicago spp.) and berseem clover provided an extra source of emergency forage when alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was winter killed [6]. Berseem clover, arrowhead clover (T. vesiculosum L.) and winter vetch (Vicia villosa subsp. varia L) have shown promise for high N accumulation and forage production in Alaska [7]. While research on annual forage production and quality has been conducted for the cattle industry in western Canada [2, 8, 9], little research has assessed the suitability of annual forages for deer pasture. Annual forages can be utilized to provide alternative forage during perennial pastured rejuvenation on deer pastures, a frequent requirement due to the highly selective foraging behavior of deer and removal of preferred forages from pasture swards.

Seeded forages 17 DAP ranged from 176 to 305 g kg-1 DM (Fig. 2), and were highest in turnips and lowest in berseem clover. By 4 August (73 DAP) the total aboveground forage CP concentrations of the seeded forages had declined to a range of 150 to 200 g kg-1 DM, and were highest in field pea and lowest in berseem clover. In contrast, total aboveground forage CP concentrations were similar (p > 0.05) among forage types at 84 DAP, ranging from 140 to 147 g kg-1 DM. Thus, between 17 and 84 DAP CP concentrations significantly decreased (P<0.05) in all four seeded forages (Fig. 2). The CP concentrations obtained in the current study are comparable to other studies. For example, Ross et al. [9] found that between 35 and 88 DAP, CP concentration of berseem clover declined from 310 to 180 g kg-1 DM.

Look at the following statements, and see how the paired conjunctions, such as that is to say, in other words, this indicates that, and this means that are used o express a relationship of explanation.
For Example:
Nitrogen excreted in urine is predominant in the form of urea, which can easily be converted into ammonia and carbon dioxide by the enzyme urease, which is present in faeces, thus resulting in emission of ammonia.

The MF could increase an inner energy which is distributed among the atoms causing accelerated metabolism [12]. The humidity which allows ions to mobilize is one of the factors that make the absorbed MF energy to be effective [16]. Increasing ions mobility and ions uptake improved under MF which leads to a better photo stimulation and growth [16]. Moreover, MF has the ability to change water properties, thus magnetized water increased rice chlorophyll content [17]. The condition of humidity was available in seedlings in the present study.
