Abstract

Handayani F, Nurbani. 2015. Assesment of soybean farming system with ICM application on paddy field in East Kutai, East Kalimantan. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1: 1233-1237. Mostly paddy field in East Kalimantan is being planted twice per year, in October-January and February-May, the rest is left fallow. The main restriction factor in fallow period is water supply. So, the assessment was committed to evaluate the feasibility of soybean farming system on paddy field during the fallow period by ICM (Integrated Crop Management) application. It was held on Kutai Timur Regency from June to September 2009. It was arranged in strip plot design with three blocks as replications. It compared soybean farming system with an existing technology using uncertificated seed and application of soybean ICM using soybean superior varieties i.e. Grobogan, Kaba and Ijen. The result showed that there was no interaction between soybean varieties and ICM application. Soybean varieties had no influence on all parameters. ICM application affected by the weight of seed per hectare but did not affect on others. Financial analysis showed that R/C ratio on ICM application was 1.34, break even point of production was 668 kgs/ha, and break even point of price was Rp. 5.200,00/kg.
