Date of creation:

20.07.2007.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

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

Projection:

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

Basic content:

Vector map consisting of 3 layers. Zones of damage are shown by polygons. Single record is shown by dot.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Two zones of damage are allocated within the limits of general area. In the zone of moderate damage, the pest population density exceeds economic threshold (4-5 caterpillars per 1 plant at population of 70% of plants) 1-3 times per 10 years (EPPO Standards.., 1997; Valich, 2005). However, the Beet Moth's harming activity depends greatly on weather conditions, farming methods (including irrigation), plant state and growth stage, and pest phenology on parent plants and industrial plantations (Shmeleva, 1957; Minoranskii, 1976; Dolzhenko et al., 2004). In the zone of low damage, the pest has low economic significance for table beet and fodder beet.

Method of map production:

The map is compiled by results of the analysis of the open published materials, being corrected after the Collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Science, St.Petersburg, Russia. The S. ocellatella area is outlined according to reference and original data on the species distribution (Zhitkevich, 1963, 1966; Antadze, 1973; L.vovskii, 1994; Vasil.ev, 1974; Petrukha et al. 1982; Tribel. & Deryugin, 1993; Shmeleva, 1954; Minoranskii, 1963, 1987, 1989; Polyakov et al., 1981; Bystrova & Sabluk, 1990; Dolzhenko et al., 2004; etc.). The Beet Moth is an invasive species for the territory of the USSR. It was first recorded in Crimea in 1937-1938 and in Krasnodar Territory in 1945, then spreading quickly in all southern zone of beet-growing. The species does not populate wild plants of the family Chenopodiaceae growing in this territory; therefore, its area and zone of damage coincide. The species was found so far in steppe and forest-steppe floristic zones of the European part and in the zone of beet-growing in the North Caucasus and Georgia (except for a single record from Turkmenistan). Borders of the zone of its moderate damage coincides with sugar beet cultivation area, and borders of the zone of the pest low damage coincides with fodder beet cultivation area within abovementioned natural zones. Steppe and forest-steppe floristic zones are defined after Vorob.eva (1986), fodder beet cultivation area after Rukhovich (2003), and sugar beet cultivation area afterTerekhina (2004).
