Climatic hazards, known as anthropic issues, are permanent threat to agriculture. Thus, beside the observed new climatic conditions, several agricultural practices are being developed. This study is led in order to characterize and understand better the determinants of such the agricultural practices. Data collected from 280 maize cultivators in Northern Benin have been used to do a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and logit models were specified. The results revealed that the perception of both the emergence of new grass species, insect pests, late starting of rains and rising temperatures influences positively the producers who, for adaptation, increase the dose of chemicals and opt for extending agriculture and adopt new varieties of seed. But, it influences negatively adopters of agroforestry and adopters of none chemical agricultural practices. Concerning the perception of the early arrival of rains, it influences positively the adoption of agricultural practices, which are likely to increase the ecological vulnerability of the producer in face of climatic hazards. Furthermore, the experience of the producer and the Access to extension service, increase the chance of adoption of ecologically unsustainable agricultural practices.
