ICM Program
Prevention and Correction: Less disease. Healthier crops. Higher yield.
With Integrated Crop Management (ICM), farmers combine preventative and corrective methods for sustainable and profitable crop production. At its core, our ICM prgrams combat plant diseases, pests, and other ailments that inhibit growth, with effective inputs of biological and eco-friendly products. Our ICM method allows farmers to finally get ahead of the looming dangers to their crops while providing an increase in crop yields and product quality.
Integrated Crop Management (ICM) vs. Traditional Crop Disease Management
Integrated Crop Management (ICM) program combines Prevention and Correction methods for crop production. Prevention methods in an ICM emphasize the use of eco-friendly input to enhance soil and plant health; Correction methods emphasize the early detection and controlling of diseases and pests for healthier growth and bumper harvest.
- Healthier crops
- More resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses
- Greater yields
- Large return on investment
Traditional crop disease management focuses on treating diseases as symptoms appear. If growers are late to notice, they open themselves to recurring problems, severe infestations, and the chance of losing their crops
- More severe infestation
- Weaker pants
- Lower yields
- Cuts in profits, resources, and production
Prevention vs. Without Prevention
Proactively implementing prevention techniques will protect crops from prests, diseases, and environmental stresses. Traditional methods rely on reactionary solutions that can lead to resistance, reduced efficiency, lower yields, and lower profitability. By implementing an ICM Program and utilizing its preventative measures, farmers are able to break this pest and disease cycle and take action before they become a problem.
By adopting preventative practices, farmers can promote soil and plant health, reduce production costs, and protect their farms long term with a smarter approach to benefit them and the environment.
Growing with our ICM program, plant disorders can be prevented by enhancing soil and plant health with microbial products and proper plant nutrition management. Thus, healthy and vigorous crops are more resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses.
PREVENTION: Prioritizing soil and plant health for a better immune system.
- Manage nutrients for better crop performance
- Use microbial products to increase soil biodiversity, fertility, and properties
- Utilize biostimulants and organic compounds to boost crop immunity
- Prevent and alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses in crops
CORRECTION: Effectively control pests and diseases at early stages.
- Using botanical and minimum risk pesticides for diseases and pest management
- Alternating green chemicals and bio-pesticides to avoid pest resistance
- Applying pesticides at the right time and correct dosage
