Information on variables : Maximum Tº C: 1971 to 2007. Project name: Feed the Future Innovation lab on Climate Resilient Sorghum Project Description : Part of the project deals with developing sorghum cultivar with improved resilience to future climatic conditions, in particular conditions with water limitation and high evaporative demand.The map represented the probability of encountering temperatures above a set threshold for seed set sensitivity of different crops in the target region (Mali for sorghum, India for sorghum, pearl millet, groundnut, chickpea) and during a period of the year when the concerned crop is expected to flower. The underlying assumption is that high temperature could have an effect on the reproductive biology. The maps are there to represent the probability of having temperature event that could negatively affect this stage.
