Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Created using information taken from open-published literature and maps of scale 1:35 000 000.

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 pest damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Zone of damage of M. destructor is located within the area of commercial production of grain crops (winter and spring wheat, rye). Within the area, a zone of low damage is outlined, where the population density every year or periodically reaches economic threshold. The latter is 10-15 viable puparia per sq.m during seedling growth and tillering; 30-50 flies per 100 net sweeps, infestation of 20% of shoots by eggs, or 5-10% of shoots by larvae at the beginning of tillering. (Tanskii et al., 1988).

Method of map production:

The map was compiled by analyzing open published cartographical materials and literature. Hill`s map (Hill, 1978) is used as a base map. The northern border of the pest area is corrected according to published data concerning preference of M. destructor to air temperature. The analysis of Hill`s map of distribution of the Hessian Fly has shown, that in Russia the area of the pest coincides with the isoline of air temperatures total 1500° for the period with average daily temperature above 10°C; therefore the map has been corrected after Rubinshtein (1972). Deserts of Central Asia (territories with the annual precipitation amount less than 100 mm) are excluded from the area after Kuznetsova & Sharov (1972). The zone of low damage in the European part is determined according to Aleksandrov (1969); Kamyshnyi (1935); Kryshtal' (1974); Pavlov (1983); Shtakel'berg (1949); and Chesnokov (1947). The border of the zone of low damage within the limits of Ukraine is drawn taking into account pest reaction to humidification according to Kamyshnyi (1935) and Kryshtal (1974); it is specified in Central Black Earth Region after Pavlov (1983).
