Abstract

Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, Jakarta [1], Ministry of Agriculture and Preliminary Study of National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) on food and agriculture, stage III, 2015-2019 [2] the demand for soybeans in Indonesia will remain increasing by the population growth. The author's research [3] previously concluded that efforts to increase the number of Indonesian soybean production include utilizing abandoned land and planting throughout the year. This study acts as a verification of previous research by using planting of Indonesian varieties of soybean in various time and planting location in order to meet the demand for soybean commodity. This research was conducted by experiment using 3 superior varieties with 3 planting time, which is planted in 3 sub districts of Malang regency, East Java province, Indonesia. Data Processing and analysis use experimental design that is latin square design with 95% confidence level. The results obtained that the use of different varieties with different planting time and location has no effect on the production. The different production result is on account of the fact that each variety has its own profile.
