The paper presents preliminary results from the Asian Development Bank funded Study of Irrigation Management in Indonesia which is being collaboratively implemented by the International Irrigation Management Institute (IIMI) and the Directorate General of Water Resources Development (DGWRD). While the project is not focussed on soybeans per se, it does have a palawija component that, due to the research focus in Java, provides a significant amount of information on irrigated soybean production. The sites selected for the research are in "technical" irrigation systems that have extensive second and third season palawija cropping. The primary findings to date are that, even though these irrigation systems are technical systems with very little water scarcity, overall soybean yields are still relatively poor. One major cause of the low yields appears to be excessive water in the soil profile. Future research activities will focus on alternative bed shaping, in particular raised beds, in combination with irrigation scheduling to test the hypothesis that alternate bed shaping does have a significant impact on increasing yields.
