This study aimed to determine plant performance and added value of soybean farming by applying tillage and plant spacing. This study was conducted by two treatments, namely treatment I: no-tillage and scatter planting system on soybean farming, and treatment II: tillage and plant spacing on soybean farming. Primary data were in the form of plant performance, production, and soybean farming. The data were analyzed descriptively using average plant growth and productivity, RCR, BCR, and MBCR. The results of the study showed that the soybean farming with tillage and plant spacing resulted in better growth, a higher number of branches, number of pods, and productivity than the existing farmer. The soybean productivity increased by 19.73%. Tillage and plant spacing were proven to provide added value, i.e., increasing farmers' income by IDR 3,808,000/ha (an increase of 19.72%) and farmers' profits by IDR 2,523,682/ha (an increase of 26.61%). Even though the proportion of costs increased by 13.07%, there was a higher increase in the proportion of profits by 21.01%. The MBCR value of 1.96 showed that when the farming cost increased by IDR 1,000 due to tillage and plant spacing, the profit increased by IDR 1,960.
