Scale:

1:20,000,000.

Accuracy of map:

Minimal territorial unit is regional (oblast) arable territories selected by arable map, generalized to scale 20,000,000.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map of area consists of 3 layers: territories of cultivation and belt of cultivation shown by polygons; territories distant from the basic area shown by points.

Accuracy of classifier:

Maps were created based on published information about species distribution and cultivation. Accuracy is on the level of oblast.

Method of map production:

Area map based on data from the literature (State list, 1994, 2004; Agricultural, 1960) and arable territory map for USSR (Koroljeva, 2003). Area covers almost all arable territory of the USSR, with distribution delimited at 62-63 degree of northern latitude (Alekseeva, 1960; Kazakova, 1978). The basic regions of cultivation cover central and southern USSR (Vekhov, 1978; Bekseev, 1998). Traditionally onion is cultivated in Penza, Nizhnij Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Tambov, Ryazan, Briansk, Kursk and other regions, in Bashkiria, Baltic states (pungent varieties), on the Northern Caucasus, Volga regions, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan (sweet varieties) (Kuzliakina, 1980; Ivanova, 1980, et.al.). Places situated far from the base area are marked by points (Doronina, 1968; Alekseeva, 1982).
