Vector map. Area of distribution and disease severity zones are shown by polygons.Accuracy of the classifier:
Within the sunflower cultivation area, three zones of disease severity of Sunflower White Rot have been defined. The zone of low disease severity is characterized by yield losses that do not exceed 10%. The zone of moderate disease severity is characterized by yield losses greater than 10 but less then 25%. The zone of high disease severity is characterized by yield losses greater than 25% (greater than 40% infected plants).Method of map production:
Published literature was reviewed, including Atlases, monographs and papers. Occurrence data were obtained from herbarium specimens, floras, monographs and papers. Data were then compiled through scanning and geo-referencing to develop a composite vector map. The biologist, together with the GIS specialist, drew a composite weed distribution area based on compiled data. The area and disease severity zones were plotted on a blank map following a review of published sources (Tikhonov, 1975; Yakutkin et al., 1990). Disease distribution was corrected using the boundaries of sunflower cultivation based on Koroleva (2003). Borders of disease severity zones were corrected according to published data (Yakutkin, 2001).Sources of the data:
