Date of creation:

15.11.2005.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on information taken from the open-published literature and maps of 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 has three layers, where the potato area and severity zones of Powdery Scab are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

In the potato area two zones of different severity of S.subterranea are determined. The first is the zone of its low severity, where number of affected tubers is 3% and less (Kirov and Kaluga Regions of Russia). The second zone has moderate severity of the disease, where its occurrence on tubers reaches 10% (Belarus, Leningrad region of Russia).

Procedure of map drawing:

Published materials are used for map drawing (Gorlenko, 1968;Volovik et al., 1971; Sizova,1976). Zones of different severity of the Powdery Scab of potato are established after known data (Gorlenko,1968; Volovik et al., 1971). The registration and vectoring of raster map are carried out by standard means of GIS-tecnologies.
