Abstract
The chapter consists of a description of the method of drought assessment by the PDSI, processing of remote sensing imagery and derivation of the NDVI and assessment of drought impact on yields of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.). Hectare yields of the cereals were detrended for each district using the second degree polynomial function. For identification of relationships between PDSI and NDVI and drought impact on vegetation vigor was used correlation analysis.
