Here is the Sample study in conducted in Africa entitled "Improved Rice in Senegal"
In Senegal, researchers screened hundreds of Asian short-duration rice varieties to promote double cropping in areas where only one rice crop was grown before. In 1994, the variety that performed best in local conditions was released under the name Sahel 108. It was an instant success and not just for double cropping. Farmers also found it useful during the rainy season. The extra month of planting time provided by the short-duration variety proved to be a life-saving advantage for those who did not get inputs in time or who were sick during the critical period.
More details on Sahel 108 can be found in the 1996 Annual Report of the West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA)
