Estimation of the drought sensitivity of Hungarian soils based on corn yield responses

During our soil-specific drought sensitivity research, an aim of ours was to ascertain how drought, a stress factor caused by the lack of precipitation, affects soil fertility. We used the five-year-long (1985–1989) soil and corn yield data of the National Pedological and Crop Production Database (NPCPD). We assigned the annual Pálfai Drought Index (PaDI) to the annual corn yield data of the NPCPD in order to identify drought-free corn yields...
