Authors:

Object specialist O.S. Afanasenko, GIS-specialist I.A. Budrevskaya.

Date of creation:

10.03.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:33 000.000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution and zones of disease severity are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

The map area is subdivided into zones of low and moderate severity. The disease is of greatest concern in Eastern and Western Siberia, Northern Caucasus, North-West and Central Regions of Non Chernozem Region, South Ural, Far East, also in Baltic region (Latvia, Lithuania) Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan. The yield losses depend on disease development. With the frequency of disease occurrence at 0.7-4.7%, the losses can reach 22.3-31.6%. In the Ukraine yield losses are estimated at 14%. The zone of moderate harm was determined according to literature sources and is based on the frequency of disease occurrence greater than 1%, whereas, the zone of low harm is based on frequency less than 1% or when there is the presence of Ustilago nuda in the pathogen complex if there is no data on disease frequency. Local epiphytoties can take place in any agroclimatic zone at the infringement of agrotechnical norms (crops from non-treatment seeds). This is why it is impossible to designate a zone demonstrating the most frequent occurrences of epiphytoties.

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. The general life-cycle information of the pathogen and host-plants was gathered from the following literature sources: Ishkova et al. (2000), Mathre (1997).
The zones of disease severity were determined according to the following sources: Ishkova et al. (2000), Sanin (1995), Kirdoglo & Shevchenko (1986), Buidvis & Kokha (1975), Chumakov (1962), Kozhevnikova (1970), Oniskova (1989), Sanin (1995), Stepanovskikh (1970), Tikhomirov & Sidorova E.F. (1991), Tyunin & Kushnirenko (1981), Novozhilov & Zakharenko (2000). If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized.
