<abstract>Bread wheat is important food crop in Ethiopia. Multi-environment bread wheat regional variety trial comprised of 18 genotypes along with two standard checks, HAR2501 and HAR2562 and the respective local check of Inewary, Keyit and Mehalmeda was carried out in 2007-2008 main seasons. The objective of this study was to identify stable and better yielding bread wheat variety under North Shewa areas of Ethiopia. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design replicated three times within an experiment. Based on AMMI analysis genotypes FH-934, HAR3816, HAR1911 and ETBWCO89MAMBA/ HAR1384 were superior to both the standard and local checks. In addition, these promising genotypes were also resistant to yellow rust, and hence these genotypes have been verified, and the genotype HAR3816 has been registered by the Ethiopian national variety releasing committee by the given name ‘Bollo’ for commercial production under North Shewa wheat growing areas. However, the highest yielding and stable variety, FH-934 was found to be susceptible to yellow rust and was not selected for on-farm verification.</abstract>
