  The Faba bean (Vicia Faba L.) is a well-known legume crop in Ethiopia and the North Shoa district. In order to assess the impact of Faba bean varieties on blended NPSB fertilizer levels, an experiment was carried out in the districts of Girar Jarso and Degam in the main cropping season of 2022 on a farmer's training center and farmer's field, respectively. A randomized complete block design was used to set up a factorial combination of three improved varieties (Numan, Alloshe, and Gora) with one local variety, four NPSB fertilizer levels (0, 60, 120, and 180 kg ha-1) and three replications. The findings showed that above ground biomass, grain yield, straw yield, harvest index, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, days to flowering, days to maturity and plant height were significantly (P 0.001) affected by the main effects..
