Date of creation:

22.10.2007.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on materials of map 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 is composed of 2 thematic layers. Zones of distribution and damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Zone of low damage is only separated within the insect area, using the published materials. The zone of low damage includes regions that are characterized by periodical increase of aphids on cereals according to points 1-2 (Drakhovskaya, 1962).

Method of map production:

The area and damage zone of Metopolophium dirhodum Walk. have been marked on a blank map by results of the analysis of the published materials. The northern border has been also marked after the published materials (Shaposhnikov, 1964; Ivanovskaya, 1976), coinciding with the northern border of forest zone. This insect is cold resistant. The species is marked in West Siberia (Ivanovskaya, 1976). This aphid occurs also in Primorskii territory (Pashchenko, 1979). The borders of low damage zone are given, using the criteria that have been published by V.P.Nevskii (1929), O.I.Ivanovskaya (1976), and others. It covers steppe zone of Ukraine, Lower Volga Basin Region, North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, and South Kazakhstan. The vector map of distribution of arable lands within the territory of the Former USSR has been also used for the correction of damage zone (Koroleva et al., 2003).
