The agricultural sector for Gorontalo Province has a very strategic role. Agriculture is a business that provides the largest contribution to gross regional domestic product (GRDP). It is recorded that the agricultural sector has a GRDP value of about 38.8 percent of the total. One of the leading agricultural commodities for Gorontalo is maize. One of the ways to increase maize production is by using superior seeds. The study was done in Sukadamai Village, North Bulango, Bone Bolango Regency from October 2020 to January 2021. The study involved 6 cooperative farmers with a land area of 3 Ha. The results of the study showed that the JH 37 and JH 29 varieties had the highest productivity levels compared to other varieties. IAARD’s is feasible because it has an RC ratio value above 1 and has a positive profit value.
