Integrated Crop Management

Integrated Crop Management (ICM) is an approach to farming that combines various systems and practices to grow crops efficiently and sustainably. It involves using the right mix of techniques such as selecting healthy seeds, managing pests without over-reliance on chemicals, optimizing water and nutrient use, and monitoring crop health regularly. The goal is to maximize yield and quality while minimizing environmental impact, reducing costs, and enhancing farm profitability. ICM emphasizes balancing all aspects of crop production through knowledge, technology, and careful planning, ensuring responsible and eco-friendly farming practices.
