cropping seasons using randomized complete block design (RCBD) in three replications with the objective of identifying wide adaptable and high yielding bread wheat varieties. The combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the effects of year (Y) and locations (L) were highly significant for all parameters studied. The combined ANOVA of grain yield (GY) revealed highly significant (P<0.01) G x Y interactions effects for almost all traits. The environment (E) effect accounted for 67.8% of total sum of squares (TSS) followed by the Genotype by Environment Interaction (GEI), which accounted for 8.2% and G (3.6%). The highest yielding genotypes selected from the National Variety trial (NVT) were Moontiji-3 (3488 kg/ha), Doukkala-4 (3258 kg/ha) and Saamid-3 (3158.00 kg/ha) with the maturity date of 82.2, 89.5 and 84.2 days, respectively. Generally, the yields of the three candidate varieties were higher and stable over years and across locations.
