Basic content:

Vector map consisting of 3 layers. Area and zones of damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Within the general area in the Former USSR 2 zones are allocated, i.e., zones of moderate and low damage. In the zone of moderate damage the number of Plutella xylostella caterpillars exceeds 2-5 individuals per plant in a phase of whorl formation under favorable weather conditions for oviposition and caterpillars hatching, and it exceeds 5-10 individuals per plant in a phase of head setting. In the zone of low damage the number periodically (to 2 times for a decade) reaches economic threshold, which is 2 caterpillars per plant in a phase whorl formation, and 5 individuals per plant in a phase of head setting (Sazonov et al., 1991; Vytskii & Asyakin, 1986). In practice Plutella xylostella is accounted together with the Cabbage White (Pieris brassicae L.) and the Small White (Pieris rapae L.) and other lepidopteran pests of cruciferous and vegetable cultures in the majority of regions.

Procedure of map drawing:

The map is compiled by results of the analysis of the open published cartographical materials and literature. Area of Plutella xylostella distribution in the European part is drawn along border of tundra and taiga on the basis of literature data (Gusev, 1959; Dzholova, 1965; Gershenzon, 1974; Provorotova, 1977; Kadamshoev, 1986; Chistyakov, 1988; Zagulyaev, 1994) and of map by Hill, 1978. In Siberia and the Far East the northern border of the area is extrapolated and is also drawn along border of tundra (or mountain tundra) and taiga having important biogeographical value (Gorodkov, 1992); thus the area corresponds to the literature data on the species distribution (Belikova, 1955; Gusev, 1959; Provorotova, 1977; Berim & Samsonova, 1987; Prokof.eva, 1987; Bagachanova, 1999). Taiga tracts of Northeast Yakutia and northern Magadan Region are separated by continuous and wide strip of mountain tundra and they are not included in the area. The zone of moderate damage is outlined after the data and reports of authors of the applied literature (see Sources of the data) on 2nd-4th instar caterpillars. maximal harming activity under comparatively dry and warm weather (Marsh, 1917; Reikhard, 1919; Belikova, 1955; Berim & Samsonova, 1987; Makarova i dr., 1990; Berger, 1991) taking into account areas of industrial cultivation of cabbage (Lizgunova, 1965) and vegetable cultures (Tochenov et al., 1984). It has been drawn along generalized borders of forest-steppe and forest belts (in the North) and of steppe and desert belts (in the South). The same soil-vegetation zones have been used as a basis for delineation of the zone in mountain regions of the Caucasus, Middle Asia, and southern Siberia (Barysheva et al., 1992). Within the limits of Amur Region, Khabarovsk and Primorskii Territories the distribution of meadow-chernozem soils in mixed forests and meadows (to lower Amur river) has been taken into consideration (Barysheva i dr., 1992; Chikov, 1976) taking into account areas of cabbage (Lizgunova, 1965) and observation data (Belikova, 1955; Berim & Samsonova, 1987; et al.). The zone of low damage coincides with the areas of cabbage that have not been included into the zone of moderate damage (Chesnokov, 1936; Gusev, 1959; Dzholova, 1965; Gershenzon, 1974; Provorotova, 1977; Chistyakov, 1988; Berger & Burov, 1991; Berger, 1994; Ovsyannikova & Grichanov, I.Ya., 1995).
