<p align="justify">White corn is used either as animal feed or in rice to become corn-rice. Corn has been cultivated both with monoculture and intercropping systems with various types of plants, such as beans. One type of commonly used beans is soybean, which is also a food source that is in high demand through foods such as tofu, tempeh, soymilk, and others. This study aims to determine the effect of soybean population density on the productivity of white corn and soybeans.The research was conducted at Lahan Tugas Akhir ITB Jatinangor and Laboratorium Produksi Biomassa dan Tugas Akhir. White corn and soybean crops are grown in monoculture, planted by intercropping methods at the same time, and corn planted by intercropping methods with 20-day after-plant soybean. The variables observed were plant height, number of soybean pods per plant, weight of corn stover and soybean, corn seed weight and soybean seed weight. The intercropping method influences the height of white corn plant and corn pipe weights. An efficient intercropping method in increasing the production of white corn and soybean is a method of intercropping white corn with two soybean crops planted at the same time, achieving the highest white corn productivity of 0,42 ton/ha. <p align="justify"> <br />
