N2  - This  research  was  aimed  to   evaluate  land,   water ,  and  economic   productivity  of  some   scenarios of rubber intercropping system in Banyuasin in order to improve its productivity  and  to  provide  recommendation  for  the  optimization  of  rubber  intercropping  system   productivity in Banyuasin.   Simulation study  was done using t he WaNuLCAS model to determine the maximum  land,  water,  and  economic  productivity  under  three  main  scenario   factors.  The  first  factor  was   rubber  plant  spacing   arrangement  system,  whi ch  consisted  of  three  case s,  i.e.  base  case   (single  row,  3  x  7  m),  single  row  (3  x  6m),  and  double  row   (2  x  6  x  14m)  plant  spacing arrangement system. The second factor was water management treatment, which consisted  of  four  cases , i.e. without irrigation and drainage, irrigation in dry  periods , drainage in wet  periods,  and  irrigation  and  drainage  in  both  dry  and  wet  periods .  The  third  factor  was   cropping   system   scenari o,   which   consisted   of   four   cases ,   i.e.   without   intercrops,    intercropped with upland rice -upland rice -upland rice, with upland rice -upland rice -maize,  and with cowpea -maize cropping system. Calibration  and  validation  show  that  the  values  of  Pearson  Correlation  Coefficient  (R)  of   rubber tree girth and yields of upland rice, maize, and cowpea  wer e more than 0.95.  R for  latex  yield   calibration  is  0.97,  whereas  for  validation  is  0.83.  Goodness  of  Match  ( GOM )  values for all parameters are between  0.95 and 1.09.  Root Mean Square Error ( RMSE ) for  the  various  parameters  w as  less  than  5%  compared  to  the  observed  values .    Double  row   plant spacing arrangement system could improve rubber tree girth and biomass , but could  not  improve  latex  yield  per  hectare,  SGVP,  as  well  as   land   and  water  productivity.   Drainage scenario could improve rubber tree girth ,  bioma ss,  latex  yield per hectare, SGVP, as  well  as  land   and  water   productivity.  Intercropping  system  scenario  could  not  improve   rubber  tree  girth,  biomass,  latex  yield  per  hectare,  SGVP,  as  well  as  land,  water  and   economic productivity. The  best  land  and  water   productivity  could  be   achieved  by  all  scenarios  with  drainage   system  (more than 0.75 US$/m 2 /year and 0.5 US$/m 3 /year for land and water productivity  respectively) .    These  values  were  70%  higher  than  base  case  scenario.  Therefore,  it  is   recommended  to prep are drainage system under rubber plantation in Banyuasin
