The map layer is established on the basis of the classification of municipalities under the compulsory control of golden flavescence (taking into account the new 2015 decrees). The compulsory control of golden flavescence is regulated in Languedoc-Roussillon by the following Prefectural Orders: — For Aude: order of 6 May 2015 http://draaf.languedoc-roussillon.agriculture.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/2015_05_06_arrete_fd_11_cle8d8a7d.pdf — For the Gard: order of 2 June 2015 http://draaf.languedoc-roussillon.agriculture.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/2015_06_02_arrete_fd_30_cle8eea45.pdf — For Hérault: order of 15 June 2015 http://draaf.languedoc-roussillon.agriculture.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/2015_06_15_arrete_fd_34_cle8dd828.pdf — For the Pyrénées-Orientales: order of 10 July 2015 http://draaf.languedoc-roussillon.agriculture.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/2015_07_10_arrete_pref_flavescence_66_cle013d21.pdf In Languedoc-Roussillon, the disease appeared in 1982, first in Aude and then in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Today, these two departments as well as Hérault and Gard are concerned by flavescence. Currently, golden flavescence is present in a large part of the French vineyards. Golden flavescence has a significant economic impact on the vineyard. It causes crop losses. It can lead to the death of the vines and ultimately compromise the sustainability of the vineyard. The golden flavescence is of an epidemic character with a very rapid increase in the number of diseased ceps. This characteristic makes the struggle compulsory.
