- Intervention effect Early planting improved peanut yield across nine locations.
- Intervention effect Changing planting date did not improve peanut yield at four northern Senegal locations.
- Observation The midcentury growing season was projected to shorten by up to three weeks at some locations because of late rain onset.
- Intervention effect Midcentury millet yield improved or remained unchanged at most locations.
- Intervention effect Midcentury peanut yields decreased on average by 16 to 20% across tested factors.
- Observation Millet performed well under future climate relative to sorghum and peanut in Senegal, subject to varietal factors.
