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.
