  abstract = {{T}he {S}ahel region is known for the high vulnerability of its agriculture to climate variability. {E}arly warning systems that make use of agrometerological forecasts are one of the coping strategies developed by policy makers. {H}owever, the predictive quality of the tools and methods used needs improvement. {I}n order to address some of these challenges, we conducted agronomic trials and on-farm surveys to adapt the {SARRAH} ({S}ysteme d'{A}nalyse {R}egionale des {R}isques {A}groclimatiques, version {H}) crop simulation model, and also evaluated it in farmers' field conditions. {T}he farmers' practices such as sowing dates and densities, fertilizer use and yields potentials of the millet and sorghum crops were characterized under different climatic conditions.},
