<abstract>The present research was conducted at different locations for two consecutive years 2019 and 2020 during main cropping seasons in the Oromia Agricultural Research Institute Ethiopia. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used as experimental design. Twenty bread wheat genotypes included as testing materials and were evaluated against four standard checks (Kakaba, Kubsa, Ogolcho and Hidase). The variety was developed by Bore Agricultural Research Center of Oromia Agricultural Research Institute. AMMI and GGE biplot analysis, revealed that genotype ETBW8408 (Adola-01) is stable and high yielding (27.33 qt/ha) with a yield advantage of 10.27% over the best standard check Hidase. Thus, this new variety was released in 2020 after decision committees of Ethiopian ministry of agriculture, plant variety release, protection and seed quality control directorate (formerly Ethiopian Agricultural Authority), officially released and recommended for wider productions.</abstract>
