The field experiment was conducted during 2019/2020 cropping season to evaluate the response of different wheat varieties to different rates of NPSB fertilizer at Gimbi District, Western Ethiopia. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with a factorial arrangement with three replications and consisted of four rates of NPSB fertilizers (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha-1) and three bread wheat varieties (Liben, Digalu, and Local). The finding discovered that the effect of variety and NPSB fertilizer was significant for days to heading, grain per spikes, above-ground biomass, and straw yield. The varietal effect showed a highly significant effect (p<0.01) on grain yield. Grain yield significantly differed for the local wheat variety and the other two varieties (Liben and Digalu). However, grain yield did not significantly differ for Liben and Digalu wheat varieties. The lowest grain yield recorded for the local wheat variety was 1.99 ton ha-1and the highest grain yield was recorded for the two wheat varieties (Liben and Digalu) which were 3.5 and 3.66 ton ha-1, respectively. The highest grain yield was obtained when bread wheat varieties were fertilized by 150 and 100 kg blended fertilizer (4.18 and 3.87 tons respectively), but both rates are not significantly different from each other (p<0.01). The varietal effect showed a highly significant effect (p<0.01) on the harvest index (HI). The harvest index significantly differed between Local and the other two varieties (p<0.01). Based on the current finding, the grain yield was increased by 44.8 % when the two wheat varieties (Liben and Digalu) were used over the local wheat variety in that particular area. Therefore, further research has to be conducted to see the performance of these two wheat varieties in different locations of the district to come up with sound recommendations.
