Date of creation:

15.01.2007.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on information taken from the open published literature and maps of scale 1: 1: 33 000 000 . 1 : 17 000 000.

Projection:

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

Basic content:

Vector map. Area and zone of damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Within the limits of the H. micacea area in the USSR territory, the zone of low damage is allocated where the pest has economic significance. Economic threshold proposed for the Turnip Moth (Agrotis segetum); i.e., 5-10 caterpillars per sq.m, or 10% of damaged plants at potato young growth stage (Tanskii, 1985) are used here because of similarity of the two species in biology and ecology.

Method of map production:

The map is compiled by results of the analysis of the open published materials and maps. The H. micacea area is outlined according to reference and original data on the species distribution (Mashek, 1957; Agafonova, 1964; Merzheevskaya, 1967, 1971; Polyakov et al., 1981; Pospelov, 1969, 1989; Sedykh, 1974; Sukhareva, 1999; Kuznetsov, 1960; Kononenko, 1988, 2003; Eenlaid, 1963; etc.). In the north of the European part, the Potato Stem Borer has been recorded in Karelia (Kullberg et al., 2001; Kutenkova, 1986), Republic of Komi (Sedykh, 1974), Kirov (Charushina & Shernin, 1974) and Perm Regions (Kuznetsov, 1960). In Ural, Altai, in southern and western Siberia, the species is found after the data of Shek (1975), Kononenko (2003), Polyakov et al. (1981), Pospelov (1989); in Buryatia, after Berlov (2005). In Central Asia and Kazakhstan, it is marked after papers of Kuznetsov (1960) and Shek (1975). In the Far East, the Potato Stem Borer is distributed in Khabarovsk Territory, Kamchatka and Sakhalin Regions after Kononenko (1988; 2003). According to the reference data, this species occurs in all European part of the USSR (except for Trans-Polar region), in Transcaucasia, Siberia, and the Far East. However, original records of the species in the Far North and beyond the Urals are not numerous. Therefore, a map of potato cultivation (by Rukhovich, 2003) has been taken as a basis for the Potato Stem Borer distribution, as the potato is the most widespread host-plant for the pest with inclusion of natural lands and corrected according with actual records of the pest. High mountains are excluded from the area. The species damage has been reported from the forest-steppe and forest vegetation zones, northward and eastward to Baltic Sea, Karelia, Leningrad, Moscow, Nizhnii Novgorod Regions, and Chuvashia. The final map of the zone of low damage has been compiled by correction of the map of the Potato Stem Borer area on potato cultivation zone (with areas where these plants occupy 3 to 5% and more of the tilled land area), and taking into consideration the borders of forest-steppe and forest vegetation zones (after Chikov, 1983).
