  • PBAPP Seeks Another Cloud Seeding Move to Fill Penang Dams
    PBAPP seeks another cloud seeding move to fill Penang dams (File pic) The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is seeking for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations next month to replenish two dams. -NSTP/MIKAIL ONG By Audrey Dermawan - May 28, 2020 @ 6:36pm GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is seeking for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations next month to replenish two dams that were still below the 50 per cent capacity mark. The two dams are the Air Itam Dam and Teluk Bahang Dam. Cloud seeding operations conducted between April 25 and yesterday have helped to increase the effective capacities of both dams, but these were still not enough to boost the water levels. The maximum effective capacity of the Air Itam Dam is 2.16 billion litres, while the maximum effective capacity of the Teluk Bahang Dam is 18.24 billion litres. The effective capacity of the Teluk Bahang Dam is 8.4 times more than the effective capacity of the Air Itam Dam. PBAPP chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said while there had been improvements following the earlier cloud seeding operations, the effective capacities of both dams were still below normal levels. https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/05/596030/pbapp-seeks-another-cloud-seeding-move-fill-penang-dams "In March, the Penang government approved a first series of 10 cloud seeding operations over Penang and Kedah. To date, six cloud seeding operations have been carried out with four more to go. "PBAPP is requesting for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations in June to maximise potential rainfall yield and refill the Air Itam Dam and Teluk Bahang Dam as much as possible," he said today.

School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Minden, Penang E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fusarium species were isolated from 12 cultivated soil planted with different crops in Penang. A total of 42 Fusarium isolates were recovered in which four Fusarium species were identified namely, F. solani, F. semitectum, F. equiseti and F. oxysporum. The most prevalent Fusarium species recovered was F. solani (84%), followed by F. semitectum (7%), F. equiseti (7%) and F. oxysporum (2%).
