INTEGRATED CROP MANAGEMENT (ICM)

• ICM suggests the use of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) such ns Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), Integrated Weed Management (IWM), Integrated Disease Management (IDM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM), etc.for raising a good crop. Thus, ICM is an alternative system of crop production, which conserves and enhances natural resources while producing quality food on an economically viable and sustainable foundation.
• It also covers integrated tillage and water management approaches in a holistic manner. It combines the best of traditional methods with appropriate modern technology for balancing the economic production of crops with positive environmental management. ICM is particularly beneficial for small and marginal farmers because it aims to minimise dependence on purchased inputs while utilizing on-farm resources.
