Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20 000 000

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 1: 33 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 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:

Distribution was determined according to regions where White Spot is registered on fruit crops according to published scientific materials. Within the limits of the disease area three zones of severity were allocated. The disease occurs at least 1 time in 2 years or almost annually in the zone of high severity; 1 time in 3 years in the zone moderate development; and 1 time in 5 years in the zone of low severity.

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. 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. Distribution of the disease is shown on a map within the limits of fruit-growing in the countries of the former USSR, coinciding with the area of fruit cultures. High development of the White Spot is observed in the Belgorod Region, in the central parts of Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories, and in Georgia according to the following sources: Gabadze (1971, 1972), Kobakhidze et al. (1971), Smolyakova (2000). Moderate development of the disease occurs in Central-Chernozem, Central-Non-Chernozem, Northwest areas, in Volga region, northern part of Rostov Region, in Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories, in republics of Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, and also in the Black Sea area according to Popov (1973) and Smolyakova (2000). To a low degree the disease develops in the Far East (Ablakatova, 1965). Corrections to the distribution area and disease severity zones were made according to the map of Tochenov et al. (1984).
