By integrating dynamic, satellite-derived planting dates into the process-based crop-climate model Noah-MP-Crop, sorghum growth in the semi-arid eastern Nile Basin is simulated more realistically. Compared to fixed planting dates, dynamic sowing information substantially improves model performance with respect to leaf area index and crop yields — offering a transferable approach for crop-climate assessments in data-scarce regions.
