The survey of Integrated Crop Management (ICM) – the biggest of its kind – will be carried out by Adas, and will include 4,000 farmers and growers. It is part of a voluntary initiative package to stave off a pesticides tax. The survey will reflect all types of crop production on varying sizes of farms.

The survey aims to identify any differences between the horticultural and agricultural sectors, and specific areas where ICM does not work.
