Basic content:

Vector map, which consists of 2 thematic layers. Area of distribution and zone of damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Within the area of distribution, the extent of damage to flax crops resulted in a zone of low damage only, in which the maximum flax flea beetle damage never exceeds 3 on the 5-point scale of harmfulness (Kopaneva et al., 1981).

Mapping procedure:

In the former USSR, the area includes the territory from the western borders (Palii & Avanesova, 1975) east to Baikal Lake, including the Caucasus (Samedov, 1963), Middle Asia, Kazakhstan (Lopatin, 1977; Lopatin & Kulenova, 1986) and Sayan Mountains (Dubeshko & Medvedev, 1989). The northern border of the area in Western Siberia coincides approximately with the northern border of forest-steppe zone. The zone of low damage consists of flax-growing territories in the Baltic States, Byelorussia, northern Ukraine, the European part of Russia north of forest-steppe zone, and steppe and forest-steppe zones of Western Siberia. The borders of the damage zone were determined according to Palii (1961), Vasil'ev (1974), and Kopaneva et al. (1981). Correction of the low pest damage zone configuration was determined according to the map of I.E. Koroleva (2003), which characterizes regions with the largest flax distribution.
