Abstract

This study aims to obtain a package of soybean cultivation technology that provides the highest seed yield and profits on the acid dry land of West Sumatra. Implemented in Pulau Punjung District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, from June to December 2018. Arranged in the form of OFAR (Onfarm Research), involving cooperative farmers who are members of farmer groups. Using Randomized Block Design (RBD), with six treatments and three replications. The treatments are: (1) Farmer Technology Package with Burangrang variety; (2) Recommended Technology Package with Burangrang variety; (3) Specific location Technology Package with Demas-1 variety; (4) Specific Location Technology Package with Burangrang variety; (5) Specific Location Technology Package with Anjasmoro variety; and (6) Specific Location Technology Package with Argomulyo variety. The treatment using a specific location technology package with the Demas-1 variety provided the highest seed yield (2.20 t/ha) followed by the recommended technology package with Burangrang variety (2.04 t/ha). Revenues from each treatment amounted to Rp.9,610,000/ha and Rp.9,120,000/ha. Both of these technology packages are financially feasible, with a ratio of R/C > 1 and MBCR > 2.
